Very cool song, very accurate tab! I played this song for my friends and they could not belive that their ears! The only flaw that I found is that while the tab is correct, there is a small solo part that isn't tabbed out. Big deal! If you have been playing guitar for a while it doesn't matter cuz its easy to figure out.
xblatantxtruthx - 2004-02-28
now that i look it over i did leave it out. If you would like me to add it on let me know.

hey dude, great job i only have one thing i wanna ask about, the tuning, you have it marked (for this and for your other tab) as Drop C, but you have the note signatures C# G# C# F# A# D#, which is Drop C#. Drop C is C G C F A D. im not entirely sure which its in so if you could tell me that would rock cause the rest of the song tab is seemingly perfect.

C G C F A D is C tuning, but the tab he wrote is actually in C#. he just worded it wrong.
Emery37 - 2005-01-20

The song is in drop C# guys - he had the tunings right, just not the right...uhm...statement? To clarify -->

Tuning: Drop C#

Just tried playing along to music - in drop c - had to play a fret higher each riff - too lazy to tune to drop C# lol - but I did eventually, it sounds basically perfect, nice work.

I pretty much figured this song out on my own, but decided to look on here, to you know, fortify what I figured out. This is pretty much an exact tab.About the drop c, just drop to d its easier and basically the same thing, just a bit higher, but it sounds perfect. Oh and NORMA JEAN's is pretty much the BEST band ever.
Disciple Freak - 2006-12-20
pretty close to perfect!!! i am gonna download that song today so i can play it better!!!! :)
helpp - 2007-04-24
norma jean plays their songs in half step standard not drop c#. its Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb not c# thats completly wrong
