Sometimes Youre The Hammer Sometimes Youre The Nail Tabs

(ver. 1)
A Day To Remember
BAND: A Day To Remember

NOTE: This is one of my first tabs which made tabbing the parts a
little difficult at times. And I was also a little biased with
guitar 1. I didn't spend a lot of time tabbing out guitar 2 but
 you can clearly hear the rhythm of it. Also, this is not a great
tab, but I love this song and really wanted to play it. I also
wouldn't mind somebody to building off this and maybe producing
a more accurate tablature.

Enjoy!
