ARTIST - EVAN TAUBENFELD
ALBUM - WELCOME TO THE BLACKLIST CLUB
YEAR- 2010
Tabbed by: BadAssChick
July 17, 2010
*I decided to tab the entire album cuz it freaking rocks! And it's nice to
have all the tabs in one place, so u don't need to search for them or look
for the best version..cuz well..this is pretty much completely correct and easy!
The tuning changes from song to song, so my advice is to tune ur guitar
down 1 half step, that way u can play all songs along to the cd, that is
of course if u own a capo to capo the guitar at 1st fret for standard
tuning, 2nd when I wrote capo 1, and so forth.
I didn't tab Waiting for 2 reasons- 1. this song is SO old that I don't
even consider it part of this album and 2. I dislike it. sorry. but I hope
u enjoy the other 10 songs!

***READ FIRST:***
TUNING: this tab is in STANDARD tuning, If you want to play along with the record
use CAPO on the 1st fret.
there are two ways to play each chord, I'll give u the simple way and the "evan way" :)
personally I think evan's way is much cooler.
BUT if u play the evan chords use them only in the verses, for chorus and bridge use the easy way.
