Bad Things To Such Good People Tab by The Pedro

Bad Things To Such Good People tab by The Pedro

Guitar Tab 

There's another one of this song already up, but I have quite a few additions to the
verses and chorus and I did the bridge completely differently.  It's still a little
shaky, but I think it's at least close.  Here you go.  Email me if you've got
suggestions: gravis127@hotmail.com.  And I'm tabbing this from the version on Winner
Never Quit, I don't know if there's another different version out there, I've seen
some weird tabs for this song.

Capo 3

***NOTE*** when you see a number followed by a "T" it means to play that number fret
with your thumb (kinda tricky).

........and end on A minor.....and thats it.

Not a very tough song, but sounds really cool if you play it just right.  On the
bridge, I'm pretty sure about the E, A, D, and G strings, but the B and the e are
pretty questionable.  It sounds at least similar.  I'm open to comments:
