Tabs with lyrics
The Darkest Side - The Middle East ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Kimedog This is so close to being perfect, it's such a sweet song and no one else has tabbed it yet (or so i could find). There are little sections where I couldn't hear the exact picking so I tried my best but it doesn't really matter, he changes it up when they play live anyway. I hope all you middle east fans enjoy!
