Olivers Army Tabs

(ver. 1)
Bayside
*This is my first time writing out a tab, so bare with me. I learned it quick by 
ear so I decided to upload this quickly. May not be 100% correct.

*Palm mutes, slides, hammer ons/offs, rhythms are not noted in the tab. 
Incorporate them after listening to the track.
