• Song:

    Whenever You Breathe Out I Breathe In

  • Artist:

    Modest Mouse

tabbed by TheApathy

Reading Tabs:
/ slide up   \slide down <> harmonic  b  bend/tremolo bar

This tab has pretty much everything in the song, down to all of the bends, so its 
pretty long, so if you'd rather just learn with the song a quick skim should be 
enough for most decent guitarists who are familiar with the song.
