----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tracing Back Roots ? We Came As Romans ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:howardhowarth E-mail:howardhowarth@gmail.com So I met Joshua at warped tour and talked to him about this song. I figured out most of it on my own, but there were a few things that he showed me. The timing is kind of tricky, so listen to the song to get it right.I also may have accidentally added in some extra notes by accident. Its in Drop A# (I think the rest of the album is too).
