The Biggest Lie

Tabbed by: Yoshima
Email: *

Tuning: DGCFAD - This is a whole step down on each string. This is the way
                 Elliott plays, however it can be played in standard as long
                 as you can sing that high. I personally play it in standard
                 with a capo on the 6th or 7th so i can sing it lower.

I've tabbbed as much detail as neccesary, the vital structure is here but
i've obviously left out any slight variations and unimportant fill-in notes
as it would just get messy. Its easy to add the extra fill-in notes once
you've got the main rhythm and structure down.

>>>The chords below are a mixture of strumming and fingerpicking,
