standard tuning

this song can be played in standard tuning or drop D, but im tabbin it out for standard.

and thats it. remember this may sound a lil different but thats cuz ur doin everythn
on 1 guitar thats supposed to be played on a bunch of other thns so this is so u can
play the song by urself and have it sound good...... and it does. lol.... enjoy!!
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Song Title: The Bird And The Worm
Artist: The Used
Album: Lies For The Liars

In this song, I think you can play it in standard tuning, but since The Used
prefer the Dropped D Tuning (like almost all their songs), it's the tuning I used here.
up to you whether you use Dropped D or the standard tuning.

Cheers!
