New Way To Tabs

(ver. 1)
Alter Bridge 
(Live)
Alter Bridge - "New Way To Live"
tuning: Drop Db (Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
 

I use about half of the Guitar Pro version, but fixed up some chords and rhythm. 
Also note to use some mild reverb in this song so the chords ring 
better. Please rate my tab so others will check it out too.
