Awkward Last Words

Album: What To Do When You Are Dead

Version 1.0 - 02/05/2005

Tabbed by: Chris Frazier (*)

This is the fourth in what I hope 
will become a series of tabs
Dead". I hope you enjoy them and 
learn something. This is one
of the more difficult tracks on the 
album but is also one of
my favorites. If you have any 
questions, comments, or additions
PLEASE e-mail them to me at * and 
I'll add/change
them if they makes sense and of 
course give you full credit.
