Song: Killed by an angel
Artist: Sunny Day Real Estate
Album: The Rising Tide
Tabbed by: Matt Keller 2/09/03
Tuning: Standard
This song is pretty easy to play, the only tough thing is the
funky chord in the intro/chorus, Hendrix used it alot (foxy
lady, and purple haze). You WILL need to listen to this song
to get the rythym correct. I know that this tab works, please
email me with corrections. (msk013@aol.com)

Play this 2 times.

Verse:
This looks harder than it is, It's just two chord formations with
the notes picked individually. Repeat this throughout the verse.

notes to these chords, you can play it either way.
