Cry Me A River - Lost Prophets

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Artist: Lost Prophets

Title: Cry Me A River

Tuning: Dropped D (DADGBe) Low to high

Tabber: a_guy_called_richard@hotmail.com

I met Lee Gaze in Cardiff the other week and he was great, so i

thought id come home and learn a load of Lost Prophets songs

but couldn't find any for this song, so i figured it out myself.

Intro: (Updated: 01 June 2004)

Pause slighty after the 8 on the very first part. You'll

need to listen to the song to hear what i mean. It only does

this in the Intro, you play the rest of the song as tabbed later.

|---------7-----------6-----------7-----------6-| <- Cheers 'LessThanLuke'
|-------9-----------8-----------9-----------5---|    for pointing that last
|-----8-----------8-----------9-----------6-----|    6 out
|---6-----------8-----------9-----------6-------|
|-------------6-----------7-----------4---------|
|-----------------------------------------------|

There is a sweet riff that the bass plays,

but it sounds just as good on guitar so here it is:

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------11h13-|
|----------11-13----14-13-11----14-13-11----14-13-11--------|
