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

Song

Alien Ant Farm- Death Day

From the Album "Anthology"

Standard Tuning

Tabbed by jhand

There is so few albums that sound as awesome as this one did. I've seen

this song tabbed wrong several times so I thought I'd take a stab at it.

This is a one guitar band but 2 plays this song best.
