Sacrifice / Jeff Williams / RWBY Vol. 2 Soundtrack
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is Sacrifice by Jeff Williams, the song in the credits of the finale of Monty Oum's series RWBY season 2.
Monty passed away recently and this is my addition to what he has brought to the world.
Tuning: Drop D MajorD (Electric/Original) or Standard (Acoustic)
The way I've written this allows it to either be played in Drop D MajorD with power chords on electric or in standard
tuning acoustically. Any (bracketed) chords are the acoustic chords only and any [square bracketed] chords are
not in the actual song but I think they sound better there.
