Please take a moment to rate this tab and leave feedback/criticism.
This is only my fourth tab, but does sound accurate.
I hope to get around to tabbing more Chuck Ragan songs so send me suggestions.
I could not find or transcribe accurate lyrics, unfortunately.

Lead guitar sections are below the chords.

*Standard tuning, no capo*
