• Song:

    Help Is On The Way

  • Artist:

    Rise Against

  • Album:

    Help Is On The Way

Along with this tab I made a guitar cover of this song. There are a few slight 
differences (the main ones are I mixed up a chord in the chorus, and a few things in the bridge) 
but it is still pretty accurate and shows the tempo and strumming patterns very well
