Sumtimes

Taproot
Tab
★4.2(3)

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

Song

No one seems to wanna touch this tab, so I went for it. This is the version from the

Music As A Weapon tour, and I watched the DVD far too many times to get this. It's a bit

long, but I tried to shorten it as much as possible and still make sense, they tend to

like to alter their riffs. I know it's 2 guitars, but I tabbed it for one. I think it's

pretty accurate, but not 100%. If you got a prob with it, then tab it yourself. =^.^=
