Floating Vibes Tabs

(ver. 1)
Surfer Blood
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard

this is the closest I could figure it out.
I tabbed it in a similar way (hopefully) to how you might see it in a book or
   magazine.
Arranged for two guitars.

I put X's above some of the tab to denote the beat so you could get some idea of
   the timing without the proper notation.

Chords:

Amaj  5776xx
Bmaj  7998xx
E5    0799xx
A5    57xxxx
E     07xxxx
F#5   24xxxx
