Song: Prayer Of The Refugee Artist: Rise Against Album: The Sufferer & The Witness This song has very interesting rhythm. Before the choruses everything stops and the song speeds up considerably, then after most choruses the note is held, and the song returns its original tempo. The bass part in itself, however, is quite straightforward. The are arranged according to the timing of the song and Courier New, size 9, is the font use to print this tab. Enjoy!
