              SAY PLEASE - Tonight Alive
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-mail: [email protected]

Tuning: Drop C majorC (CGCFAD) - The bottom half of this page has the song transposed to Drop D, so you
             only have to tune down one string! However, they play an open C majorC power
             chord in this song, so in Drop D MajorD just play the C majorC chord an octave up (x355xx).

Guitar 1 - Whakaio Taahi
Guitar 2 - Jake Hardy

Not too many guitar parts here going on, so it should be pretty straightforward. Great song too,
although I admit it's a grower. Enjoy!

Note - you can strum the above octave chords double the amount of times
they're written, it's hard to hear which way it's done exactly
