xDaughtry – what I meant to say Tabbed by: Sanjeev George and Thomas George Email: [email protected] Tabbed and submitted to and for www.ultimate-guitar.com only, the site for all your tab needs. This is mainly tabbed for 2 guitars; perhaps 3 have been used…..it’s real hard to make out some of the licks, especially in the chorus….hope its right. please rate.
