Tabs

This is the acoustic demo version of "Death For My Birthday" from the Deluxe Edition of
Anything's self-titled album. The only thing I'm really unsure on are the verse chords.
in the ballpark with them, but I'm not convinced that they're entirely right. Everything
seems accurate to me, but any input is welcome.


VERSES

Guitar 1:

Instead of using this chord in the verses:

eb|-----
Bb majorBb|-----
GbGb|--9--
DbDb|--6--

Eb MajorEb|-----

...you can use:

eb|-----
Bb majorBb|--5--
GbGb|--x--
DbDb|--6--
AbAb|--4--
Eb MajorEb|-----

CHORUS 3

Guitar 1:

Here are the chords for the final chorus. I won't waste time transcribing the strumming
because it's simple enough to figure out, but I will note the times of the chord changes.

OUTRO

Guitar 1:

The guitar here is just dead/muted notes to a rhythm which is easy enough to figure out,
with a power chord that twice uses an Eb MajorEb bass note. Here are the chords and their order
