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

Song

Tabbed 8th of January 2011 by indust from ultimate-guitar.com

Grinning by Nothingface, second track from the album An Audio Guide For Everyday

Atrocity released in 1998. It's a great song on guitar to unleash your inner rage.

This song is played in Drop C#/Drop Db.

This is my first tab ever written, so don't be hating. Don't forget to rate!

*drumroll*

Then goes the intro riff, but instead of playing the C# and c# strings, you play C# and

g# strings. For those who didn't get it, it's like this;

INTRO RIFF EDITED (2:36) 2x

c#|---------------don't touch me!------------------------------------------|

g#|-700700707060060060060603003003003030400400400400-10-10-----------------|

Then goes the VERSE RIFF...play it 4x. (2:58)

And we are done! Hope you liked this tab!
