The Strength To Go On Tabs

(ver. 1)
Rise Against
Ok, I've never done this before, but someone had to fix the other tab for this song.
If it isn't perfect, then it's a lot closer than the other one.
Have to listen for the rhythm, I don't have enough free time to spell it out.

Play intro through twice.

Verse 2

Mostly bass, but guitar is playing a ringing note
I can't identify, but I think it's this:

Let us cry...                        Let us be...
