Testing the Strong Ones

Copeland
Tab
4.3(5)

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

Song

Yeah ok...So Copeland is amazing, as is this song. Whatever. Hope you guys enjoy it, I'm

positive it's correct. Now...I'm procrastinating studying for Spanish, so I'd better

up lol

I'm not so brushed up on my chord names...so just bare with me. Ahh--screw it. I'll tab

out the long way...heh

he looks down, you're not making a sound. Open your eyes, look at me. I'll bring to you

OR you can just strum it. If you listen to the song, you should be able to pick up how

would go.

"I've gotta bust you out of here somehow. I've never seen your heart this tired, I've

seen your spirit held down."

Okay. The rhythm is extremely easy to pick out. Plus, I even add my own rhythms

it sound more unique. But all in all, this is a great song, and I think that tab is a very

portrayal. I hope think so as well. Rate or whatever...and Hopefully, you found this

Thanks for viewing.
