Hey guys, this is an update on a tab I did years ago, its for the weight (the opener to
editors' fourth album). I already tabbed the demo acoustic version of the song back when
it was called "The weight of your love" but here's the album version


Opening riff

Verse Riff

Rhythm Guitar

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------3---------0-----0--------0--------0----0--------------------------|
D|------0--0------0--0-----0-----0--0-----0--0----0--------------------------|

or alternatively play this
