Awkward Last Words


Title: Awkward Last Words Artist: Armor For Sleep Album: What To Do When You Are Dead Copyright © Equal Vision Records 2005 Version 1.0 - 02/05/2005 Tabbed by: Chris Frazier (cdf0103@mail.ecu.edu) This is the fourth in what I hope will become a series of tabs from Armor For Sleep's sophomore album "What To Do When You Are Dead". I hope you enjoy them and learn something. This is one of the more difficult tracks on the album but is also one of my favorites. If you have any questions, comments, or additions PLEASE e-mail them to me at cdf0103@mail.ecu.edu and I'll add/change them if they makes sense and of course give you full credit. . - palm mute / - slide up and down to b - Bend () - Natural harmonics * - Pinch harmonics h - Hammer p - Pull off " - Tremolo Picking x - Mute Tuning:(D A D G B E) Intro (Right) E|-------------------------------||-------------------------------------------|| B|-------------------------------||-------------------------------------------|| G|-------------------------------||-------3---3--------------------3---3------|| Part one x5 D|-------9------13------8----9p8-||-------------------8---8-----------------8-|| Part two x1 A|-----6------9-------4----------||-----4---4---4---4---4---4----4---4---4--4-|| D|---6------9-------4------4-----||---2-----------4------------2------------4-|| . . . .
