The Only Exception by Paramore

Tabs 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
			   THE ONLY EXCEPTION - Paramore
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: rockett97
Email: [email protected]

Tuning: Standard

I found out no one had tabbed the exact chords the way Paramore plays it,
so I figured I’d give it a go.
I personally think these are 100% correct (I am sure the lead part is,
the 2d part I’m not completely sure about, but its near perfected..)

Have fun, don’t forget to RATE AND COMMENT!!!

(I tabbed both the lead as the 2d guitar part!!)

Lead.

Strumming pattern is mostly just d-dudu
(*** for every little ‘strumming part of d-dudu I put down one chord in the following tab.
So: 4 times the same chords means you have to play four sessions of d-dudu)

The Only Exception tab

Paramore tabs for The only exception The music for "The only excpetion" was written by then Paramore guitarist Josh Farro. Singer Hayley Williams wrote the lyrics. The song is an acoustic number and the first Williams wrote about the most classic theme of all; love.

The song was included on Paramore's 2009 album "Brand new eyes" as a short and sweet number that would break up the album a bit. These guitar tabs should be great for acoustic guitar
