------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 Guns - Green Day ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Adam K. Email: phixsmusic2@yahoo.com I can't guarantee that this is perfect, but I can guarantee that this is my first tab ever! Great song; sorry I didn't post the lead, I'm not very good at hearing lead. Figuring this out took me a while as it is. Any questions, you can email me. Rise Against is the best band ever! (Except for that crappy last album, "Appeal to Reason", RPM is where it's at!!!!) PS. I revised the tab. I re-listened to it and figured out the right chords. Sorry about the confusion! Chords used: (Fmaj) (A#m/A5) (Cmaj) (Dm) e|-----------1-------1------- 0--------1---------------------------------------| B|-----------1-------3------- 1--------3---------------------------------------| G|-----------2-------3---3--- 0--------2---------------------------------------| D|-----------3-------3---3--- 2--------0 --------------------------------------| A|-----------3-------1---1--- 3--------- --------------------------------------| E|-----------1-------1------- X--------- --------------------------------------| Tuning: Standard (Low to High) EADGBe VERSE: (Just in case it's hard to read, it's all Fmaj, A#, C in the verse Listen to the song for the rhythm. [Stay on Fmaj and A# for 1 measure, 2 measures for C] End on Fmaj on "You're in ruins...") Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F C Do you know what's worth fighting for? When it's not worth dying for Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F C Does it take your breath away? And you feel yourself suffocating Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F C Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide? Dm Bb C F Dm Did someone break your heart inside? You're in ruins...
