Carolina Low
What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World
Track 8

hey! this is my second tab that i've posted on here. the first one didn't go down so
well, but i know this one
is accurate. you play the intro for the whole song and the ending. it's pretty simple
but definitely worth
learning. this fantastically creepy song is great...try learning the companion song, til the water's all
long gone.
