How The Story Ends Tab by All Time Low

How The Story Ends tab by All Time Low

Guitar Tab

Tuning: standard (EADGBe)

Bonus track from Future Hearts (2015). Most of it should be spot on, I'll be posting a cover to
YouTube shortly. I can't guarantee the number of strums of each note is correct but it'll be close enough
for you to figure it out. Enjoy!

/ or \ - slide to and from a note
* - palm mute
p - pull-off
~ - hold note
(x) - artificial harmonic
