Tabbed by: Jordan Lambert
Tempo: 165 bpm
Tuning: EADGBe
Note: I was looking all over for a 
good quality tab for Sadie Hawkins 
Dance,
and I found a few, but I heard some 
parts in the song that weren't 
tabbed out.
So I made my own for it. If there 
are parts or just the whole thing 
that you
don't understand, please comment 
about it or email me and we'll clear
 things up.

Intro: Ok, some tabbers actually 
recognized that there are two guitar
       parts in the intro, but the 
parts were wrong, probably because
       it's tough to hear. I tabbed 
what I heard being played, and it's
       pretty close if not perfect 
(thanks ryanwood). I divided the 
intro
       into two parts, clean and 
distorted, so if I refer to Intro 
Part 1,
       you'll know what I mean.
