Stars Tabs

(ver. 1)
Madina Lake


So I haven't tabbed anything in like forever.. I've only tabbed one song 
to this site and I got good feedback so y'know..

I'd like to hear from you - with feedback, death threats and whatever 
else.

I love ML's album - and this song is incredibly easy to work out. 
I worked out Adalia from the same album, too - which I shall tab 
when I get the time, i guess... Good luck!
Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B e - Low to High)

Intro: Clean. Let all the notes ring as much as possible.

high e string, and the other notes i've put down are actually 
played on the piano in the background.

Verse 2: Same as 2nd part of verse one - clean.. There's a 2nd guitar 
Palm Muting some stuff, but I see no need to tab it because the 
bass pretty much covers that.
