We Came To Dance Tabs

(ver. 1)
The Gaslight Anthem
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Guitar 1 is Standard

********Guitar 2 is Drop D (DADGBe)

I tabbed both guitars in this song, but since they're in different tunings, i separated 
like two different tabs in one to avoid confusion. I'm pretty sure it's accurate though. 
song, have fun.

Chorus x2

Guitar 2 plays the solo while guitar one plays these four chords as arpeggios
I'm not going to tab out exactly what he does because it's kind of hard to hear, but 
are the chords:
  Em      G         D         C
