WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Hoobastank - Is This The Day Tabs | Ver. 1
Strumming pattern is completely up to you, listen to the song to get it right
Tuning should be half-step up as it sounds on the record (Live at Atrium Studio), but I
don't care. You might use the same tabs (not chords) with E# tuning if you want to.
