Breaking Benjamin - Simple Design
Tuning: Drop C majorC  CGCFAD (Both Guitars)

🏷Legend - FB = full bend  LR = let ring   s = slide
     HB = half bend  . = Palm Mute  * - pre-bend note and strum

OK, This is really an amazing song!!! This is the way that they would most
likely play it live. This is based from a Hal and Leonard tab book, but
differs as I have condensed the song to 2 guitars and changed a handful
of things! If you want the whole thing note for note, then go buy the book!
Y'all enjoy! Just updated the PRE-CHORUS! Now everything's dead on!

Guitar 1 - Ben Burnley (rhythm)
Guitar 2 - Aaron Fink (lead)
