Album: Letters to the President Tabber: aceguitarock (*) *******THE TUNING IS IN DROP D FLAT!!! (Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)******* I'm only saying that because I know there's gonna be some noobie at guitar who gives a one star rating cause he played it in standard tuning! Key: * = palm-mute / or \ = slide up or down \\\\\\ or ////// = move finger down or up the string nice and easy (usually while tremolo picking) CALIFORNIA Intro:
