"Deer In the Headlights" By Owl City Off of All Things Bright and Beautiful Universal Republic 2011 (Adam Young rocks!) Hey there! I absolutely love this song, so I figured out of nowhere that I'd tab it out (Kinda impulsive, I know). Now, there may be some flaws (especially on lead. :O)--and I'd really appreciate it if you'd point them out--but after a lot of ear/brainwork, here it is! And I think it's at least 95% AWESOME, if not more. And it's pretty easy to play, too. Ennnnjoy.
