Artist: Emarosa Song: The Past Should Stay Dead Album: Relativity Tabbed by: Mark Holmes www.myspace.com/wakeupca www.myspace.com/markholmesmusic www.myspace.com/submare You can see me playing this song by going here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm9DeqaRTGw There are two guitars for this song and a LOT going on. This is a pretty rough guide on to be able to play this song. There are plenty of parts where the background guitar is something and I don't have it tabbed out. For the most part all of the lead parts are here. The rhythm of the first part of the song, the picking pattern, is 123, 123, 123, 123, 1234 eb|-----------------------------| Bb|-5-----3----3/7--------------| Gb|-4-----0----0/0--------------|
