Until the Day I Die

Story of the Year
Tab
4.1(56)

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

Song

Here's a new tab for Story Of The Year - Until The Day I Die (The pre-album ver.)

If there are any corrections, please let me know. Input is greatly appreciated!

Word of advice: Play it loud and just go straight down for either guitar 1 or 2.

Enjoi their new album out 9/16/03!

On #2 and #3, slide down on the first note but then leave it out on the repeat.

Guitar 1 : Here it helps to use all downstrokes and some sort of muting technique a little bit.
