          Let It Die - Three Days Grace

Tuning: Drop D (6=D,5=A,4=D,3=G,2=B,1=E)

I just heard this song two days ago and decided
to tab it. It's a pretty simple song so I did it
completely by ear, and there may be some minor
errors but it's as close as I can get. This can
be played with two guitars or three, instead of
an acoustic just use clean.Hope the layout isn't
confusing.

Guitar 1: Clean with chorus and distortion pedals
Guitar 2: Distortion with clean channel
Guitar 3: Acoustic

Note: As far as I can hear nothing else is
      played while guitar 2 plays the 333
      powerchord so guitar 1 can also play
      that instead of the 9-7 octave

Okay that looks way more complicated than it is
but it's really not. Well at least it's specific.
