E|E|------------------------------ E|---------------------------------- E|---------------|| Promise Less Or Do More - The Whitest Boy Alive E|E|------------------------------ E|---------------------------------- E|---------------||Tabbed by: Jake Whitehead First ever tab I've attempted, to a pretty simple song. Love the chorus riff and I was sad I couldn't find a tab--luckily after some time listening to it over and over I've figured out what seems to be the way Erland plays it. Enjoy! Tuning: Standard (EADGBE) Guitar doesn't start until chorus, here is the beginning section:E|-----5-------------------------- B|-----5-------------------------- G|-----5--------------------------
