Alejandro Acoustic tab by All Time Low

Tabs

Email: [email protected] (for any questions only)! :)

Something I learnt by ear but it's not exactly how All Time Low played it at the Live
but this sounds similar (:
This is my first tab that I've done so it may not be perfect!
You can check out my video of me playing it for the strumming etc. (:

The strumming that I've written on the tab may not be exact, just listen to the song and
get it! It's not that difficult! :D

Tuning: D MajorD tuning

Intro:
'Oh, oh...' - palm mute for each chord (strum up)
d|---------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------|
G+G|-7-7----7-7----9-9-9-9-----|
D MajorD|-5-5----0-0----7-7-7-7-----|
A augmentedA|-5-5----0-0----7-7-7-7-----|
D MajorD|-5-5----0-0----7-7-7-7-----|  x2

For the 2nd time on the last chord, strum 3 times

Verse 1:
'She's got both hands...'

D MajorD|-5~-----4~-----5---9---7------|

After that strum a few times on the last chord and then go into pre-chorus
