Tunning: Drop D (D A D G B E)
Song: I’m So Sick
Artist: Flyleaf
Tabbed By: Brad Schantz (stupefy99@yahoo.com)

Drop D Tuning: D A D G B E

I just tabbed out the main parts of this song. There is another guitar playing sporadic
throughout the song that I thought would be hard to tab out, so I didn’t include them.
this is enough to get you started.

Title: I’m So Sick
Artist: Flyleaf

Tuning: Drop D - DADGBE

Key: / = slide up
x = muted note
PM = palm mute

I include the bass parts of the song where there's no regular guitar, so that you can
play those parts and keep the song going. The bass parts are just those written as single
notes with palm mutes in the verse. If you listen to the song you should recognize where they are.

I’m so Sick (Acoustic) - Flyleaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: ENtheWonderDog

I figured this song out while watching the acoustic session for this song. There’s
some minor flaws here and there (mostly rhythm). Also the 7 vibrato seems a bit sharp when
play it but it sounds too low on a 6. But other than that it’s good for the most part.
think it’s how it is really played.

Tuning: Drop D (DAdGBe)
