Bed Of Ashes


"Bed of Ashes" by July For Kings Tabbed by Interl0per. (Lord.Interloper@gmail.com) - This works perfectly for me but I only really play acoustic and the song really should be played on electric. Like my favorite song ever, love the lyrics. Help with the rest of Swim would be appreciated.

(pick scrape up) Condition may seem painful but it won't last G5 (palm mute) I just march, march Sometimes I get the last laugh Bb5 D5 Machines and dreams F5 G5 To make the choices for you Bb5 D5 Machines and dreams F5 G5 I won't go out like that Bb5 D5 Machines and dreams F5 G5 To make the choices for you Bb5 D5 Machines and dreams-- D5 I won't go out Chorus (x2) Ending (Intro x4)
