Misery Tabs

(ver. 3)
The Maine
Here is the correct way to play this song, everyone else has the intro wrong, this is right.
I've been playing in standard.  Could be dropped 1/2 step.
Listen to the song for timing and rhythm.  Its fairly simple. Cheers

b|-----------------------------------------------0--|

d|------------------6-----------------------6-------|
a|-----7-9-7------7------------7-9-7------7---------|
E|-7h9--------3/5-----0----7h9--------3/5-----0-----|   x2

!st verse: (intro two more times)
I’ll say this once again
You people, you are my friends


pre-chorus

e|----------------------2--4------------------------|

Tonight, that’s right
