"Learning How to Die" by Jon Foreman
From the EP "Winter", composed by Jon Foreman
Tablature by Jose Montenegro [j053montenegro@yahoo.es]

I wanna do it clearer this time, in this complete tab

Sounds right to me but you rate if it's nice or not
If you want some tab, send me the MP3, 'j053montenegro@yahoo.es'

Soon I'll post some GP tabs of Jon as solo and Switchfoot too.
