The Best I Ever Had Tabs

(ver. 1)
The Swellers
[Preliminary Wall of text from JackD]
Since no one submitted a tab for this song I decided to figure it out myself while I was 
being disowned for a music project. I don't really know the

anything about the band, but the intro riff caught my attention and I figured I'd tab it 
for funsies. To those I play with, thanks for ditching after

all that hard work! >8^(

Tuning: 1/2 step down (tune sixth fret of low E to A string then tune A to E on low E's 
fifth like you would in standard and so forth for the rest)

[Song... Finally]
*=palm mute; X2=play twice; / =slide; ~ =let it ring, baby, add some vibrato if you're 
feeling it;

[Verse]-You can reuse the intro for this but I think a traditional punk rock power chord 
riff works better, like so
