                             SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY - Paramore
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Michael Kreick
Email: michael.kreick@gmail.com

Tuning: Drop C#  (C#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#)   Note: Guitars in both the original recording 
by U2 and the cover by Paramore are tuned a few cents sharp.
You will have to tune by ear if you want to play along with either recording, but Drop 
C# is the best place to start.

Also, this tab may be a little more difficult to play than other versions, but it's complete.



Intro and Verse 1 (0:00 - 0:25), Verse 2 (0:54 - 1:17), Verse 3 (1:44 - 2:06), Verse 4 
(2:34 - 2:59)

    Repeat these 3 bar chords, listening for rhythm and dynamics.
