Tab Four Year Strong It Must Really Suck To Be Four Year Strong Right Now Versi 4

'It Must Really Suck To Be Four Year Strong Right Now' by Four Year Strong
From their 2010 album, 'Enemy of the World'

Tuning - D Standard / Whole Step Down (DGCFAd)

Tabbed by Tuscany

This tab has been worked into D Standard, and includes all of the guitar harmonies, line-by-line,
and was tabbed along with multiple footages of them live to figure out who's doing what where.

Yay! Enjoy!
