Digging a Ditch

Tabbed by littlemisslover17@hotmail.com

I have most of whats in the song but as usual w/ dmb its not easy to get every note,

so listen to the song to get a solid idea of order, im just giving a basic idea, I

do know that the intro is about as right as it gets but the rest could use some work

i think, also this sounds better played with fingers as opposed to a pick, so thats

it, enjoy this awesome song!!

for the verses i've come close but its not right.. he doesn't really play a set pattern

its basically like this, listen to the song to hear the right timing on this too

"run to your dreaming, when your alone"

"Unplug the tv, turn off your phone"

Chorus: this is just the main riff

E-----------------------------------------------------

B-----------------------------------------------------

G-------5--------4------------------------------------
D--2/3-------2---------4---------5--------------------
A-------------------2----------3-----2----------------
E--------------------------------------------3--------

Something like this is played through the chorus, its hard to tell, but basically pluck

what sounds good. playing along w/ the music helps.
