Anthem Of Our Dying Day Tabs

(ver. 3)
Story Of The Year


NOTES:  I was sick and tired of seeing versions of this song that were so wrong
        it almost seems like the people tabbing it out weren't evening listening
        to it.  I hope you find this tab a little more useful.


Intro

Clean tuning

e----------------------|
B----------------------|  You'll have to figure out
G----------------------|  the strumming.  It's
D--7-------11--------9-|  fairly simple.
A--4--------9--------7-|
D--x--------0--------x-|

End Intro


Pre-Chorus (0:40)

e----------------------------|  You have a little
B----------------------------|  freedom here. Just
G----------------------------|  listen to the song
D--7--xxx--7--xxx--7-xxx--7--|  for the combination
A--0--xxx--0--xxx--0-xxx--0--|  of strumming that
D--0--xxx--0--xxx--0-xxx--0--|  sounds good to you.

End Pre-Chorus


Chorus (0:45)

e--------------------------------|
B--------------------------------|  You can strum these chords
G-----------------------6------7-|  or just hit them once and
D--7------2------4------6------7-|  let it ring.
A--7------2------4------4------5-|
D--7------2------4---------------|

End Chorus

G--------------------|  and over again with
D--------------------|  a little delay and strum
A--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|  quieter as you go.
D--------------------|


e---------------|
B--------7------|  Bend the 9 so it sound like
G--------9b11r9-|  an 11, but do not bend the 7
D--0------------|

Well, that's the whole song.  I hope I explained everything clearly enough.
It's not incredibly hard to play.  There's a few tricky parts, but just listen
to the song and you'll get it.  If anybody has any comments, questions, problems,
complaints, corrections or otherwise please feel free to e-mail me at the address
above.
