Ok, so i usually tab out punk bands, or faster songs at least, but I had to do this song.
I have a friend who always brings his digital camera around with him, and he always takes
video footage using it. So just the other day he decides he's going to put all this footage
together to create a music video. He was having trouble trying to find what song to use, but when he heard this song it was perfect. It fit the video perfectly. So he sent me this wonderful music video made up of all the great times me and my friends had. It was touching! Ionno, I just felt the need to learn this song, so I did. And then i decided why the hell not tab it. So its pretty easy, just follow the chords.The solo is very slow as well, so no trouble there. Enjoy!

There ya go! I showed you the chords as well. I tried to show just how the rhythm guitar for
the solo is supposed to be played, because they change from open chords to barre chords.
Please forgive me, those are supposed to be 10's, but they look like a one and  a zero. Oh well, theres the song! Any questions, concerns, or comments, just e-mail me at

Enjoy!
