                             Stuck in the Middle - Four Year Strong
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jack Valla (guitarist of The Great Indoors)
E-mail: jack_valla@yahoo.com

This is the acoustic version from the album In Some Way, Shape, Or Form performed for ATP! 
You can view it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoYhhx9Yxe8
This is quite different to the original and uses lots of techniques and odd chords that are 
a bitch to tab but I did my best. 
But please be my guest to correct me because I am sure I have got this about 50% right.
Also I wouldn't have been able to do this without the tab for original 
by guitarhero123 so huge HUGE thanks to 
them! 

Anyway, go play!

E|--(-------------------------------)----------------------------------------------------|

Then it is the intro until "and my life is..." where it goes back into the chorus 

The outro is the breakedown again with a even more complex scale thing and the chord(x76777)

Good luck working out the bits I am too simple to work out and please add to this tab or create a new one 
because I wanna know how to play this all the way through as much as anyone else!
