Around The World Tab by Kings Of Leon

Around The World tab by Kings Of Leon

Guitar Tab

This part is what Matthew plays for the most of the song. I haven't figured out his lead part yet. But I'm
sure someone will. I'll also note Caleb's part on it too. There is a third studio guitar. But I haven't added
it into the tab. it mostly just does the into part like Matthew.
