This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

A.F.I.

The Great Dissapointment

Sing The Sorrow

Tuning : Drop D, 1/2 Step Down (Db Ab Db Gb Bb eb)

Since this song has so many different parts, I figured I would

make the tab go striaght through the song. The only repeat I have

is near the end. I tried my best to put the rhythm into this tab.

It helps, but it made the areas w/ the double digits a bit confusing.

Shouldn't be a problem, though.

8p6 : Pull off

5h6 : Hammer on

PM... : Palm mute

x : Mute string

7/9 : Slide up

8/5 : Slide down

(0) : Ghost note

|-3-| : Triplet

12< : Volume Swell
