Should've When You Could've tab by Skillet

Guitar Tab

Artist: Skillet
Song: Should've When You Could've
Album: Awake
Tabber: Wade "Synyster595"

Drop C (Quick Note: Skillet's songs are in Drop C but when their live Ben drops in down
Drop B
so just remember this, if you don't want to play it in Drop C and you want to play it in
B do this
"Go down 1 fret" (Like instead of Fret 5 for Drop C
use Fret 6 for Drop B)

Worked on this song for like a few days and finally got it so hope all you guitar freaks
are like me,
have fun with it.
