Tabbed by: Rory H

Tuning: DADGBe

Fave song from Drones, so I thought I'd put my (not quite perfect) tab up :) It does in places 
require
some kind of pitch shift pedal.
Matt (guitarist) uses a digitech whammy, I get by with a behringer ultra-shifter.
If there are any modifications or improvements you'd like to make, please don't hesitate to
