Well, this is my first tab.
to me it sounds better done in bar chords
and im not sure if Relient K plays it Eb,
so i just did standard tuning, besides,
i cant be bothered changing the tuning most of the time
Enjoy.
Intro while the lead guitarist is playing the riff goes C, D, F, C. pretty much
the same as the verse.
This part is also played halfway through the song, just before the second verse.
