Someone Else Before Tab by Hawk Nelson


Hey i'd just like to point out that the majority of this was originally tabbed by 
(he tabbed Version 1).  Pick whichever one u want, i just like power chords better than drop d 
i figured others probably would too.

This song has distorion the entire time unless otherwise noted.

|Key:           |
|...= soft      |
|***= palm mute |


Intro
                                                     Instead of 10/10/8...
