                             BREAK YOUR HEART - The Gaslight Anthem
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The open B string can be substituted with the fretted G string (in all instances), though which
you prefer depends on your playing style, guitar, and ability to pick the string more delicately
than the rest. Picking the tabbed G string will give a more softer sound - it sounds equally as
impressive, but not the exact method used on the track.

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
