Amelia - Tonight Alive
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Brodie M.

Tuning: Drop 
C#C#
This is the exact way to play this song as I've transfered it from a PDF
I got from Whakaio Taahi the lead guitarist from Tonight Alive, its all 100% correct. It was a pain to tab out
But I think I did a good job, just listen to the song if you're stuck some of the guitar
parts are just harmonizing with each other and its pretty easy to hear the rhythms in the song.
Enjoy.
