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

Song

Artist: Lost Prophets

Title: I Don't Know

Album: Start Something

Tuning: Dropped D (DADGBe) Low to High

Tabber: a_guy_called_richard@hotmail.com

This album is a real bitch to tab i can tell you that.

Ok, so I don't like to post unfinished tabs, but

for the life of me i cant figure out one part of the solo.

I'll post it when i've done it. Any help will be great too.

The part that i've missed will just be left blank, so you know

the part.

Again, i haven't put the timing, just listen to the

song and its pretty simple

UPDATE: Done what i can for the impossible part

of the solo.
