Volbeat - A better believer (Drop D version)
--------------------------------------------
by UraiumWolf_235 (Max S.)
I based this in Mr.Zaenk's standart tuning version of the song and transposed it to Drop D
as I think it sounds a bit thicker and more "meaty" (if that word exists). It also is even
easier to play this way.
Though I tried to emphasize the words which the chords begin on please listen to
the song itself for ideal timing,it's quite easy to catch.
Please note that this is Rhythm Guitar only.
Drop D Tuning (DADGBe)
~ means let the chord ring
x means the string is muted
