Relient K - Pressing On

Click here for a plain text version of this song (for better printing)

This is the full tab of Relient K's "Pressing On" off their "The Anatomy
of Tongue In Cheek" CD put out by Goatee Records. This song is relatively
easy besides the fast intro and sometimes random chords thrown in.I think
i got most of it correct, except maybe the beginning of the prechoruse, so
email me at Dwilly677@aol.com to comment or complain.
