Hey folks,
I love this band and I love this song and its meaning.
I think that the few tabs available aren't any good at all.
I don't claim that my suggestion is 100% correct but definetely more fitting than
the other versions you'll find.
Other tabbers out there, no offense, I appreciate your work. ;)
Alright, so we go with standard tuning, strumming pattern is easy to figure
out, just play along with the album version.
PS.: for the Em I like to play Em7, sounds nice as well...
[1st verse]

The amber flow, sweat like the glass

So we live our lives and we have our fun while he wraps his lips around the gun

Richard Coury was his name

Cancel my appointments, I've got something to solve
