The Hills Of Birmingham Tabs

(ver. 1)
Terrible Things
Band: Terrible Things


This is the first song released by Initials; a band consisting of Fred Mascherino from 
Back Sunday, Andy Jackson from Hot Rod Circuit, Anthony Martone from VersaEmerge, and 
Licorelli from Once Nothing.
You can listen to the song to figure out timing and strum patterns as well as where 
parts go. You can feel free to contact me with any issues or comments! Thanks.
This is pretty much Andy's part.. Fred plays in an open tuning.

UPDATE: I have now added Fred's Part!

Fred's Part:

Tuning: F# F# C# F# A# C# OPEN TUNING!
