COUGH SYRUP - Young the Giant
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:McAvro

Tuning:Standard
Capo at 2

The other tabs for this song didn't quite get the right picking pattern.
I'm fairly certain that the intro is correct,
although the strumming pattern after the first chorus is open for interpretation.
Any corrections are welcome.

Tuning: Standard EADGBe

In the song there are 2 guitars, but I tabbed it for only one. and without using a capo
on the Second fret. It seems to work pretty well playing it his way with one guitar

I know this isn't a 100% correct tab. So I would appreciate any corrections to make it Perfect.

i did not tab the intro all credit goes to:
