                     American Dream - Silverstein
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Tylernol

Tuning: DADGBe

I think the other tabs of this are right, but this is for the people like
me who dont wanna tune every string down to make there guitar drop D flat,
so here’s an alternative way to play it in just drop D. Plus I changed very
slight things that I thought may have been a little off. Most of this i did
by ear, but i wanna give some credit to the other tabs, there was a couple
times i looked at theirs to see if i was getting something similar

Chorus:
e|-------------------------|    Tabbing out the higher part by ear is a
B|-------------------------|    mission for me, so just use ver 2 by
G|-------------------------| x2 shinsen88 and move everything down a
D|-4~-1~-4~-6~-4~-4~-4~-6~-|    semi-tone, or half-step, whatever
A|-4~-1~-4~-6~-4~-4~-4~-6~-|    terminology your used to, I think that

A|-6666-4--6666-4--6-|                        A|-6-| is easier
D|-------------------|
