Song: This City's a Mess Band: Said the Whale Album: Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia (Will be purchasable on iTunes June 10th, already for those of you living in Canada) Official website: http://www.saidthewhale.com/ I took the time to transcribe this the best I could. I'm not too sure about the ending it's hard for me to hear the chords being played, but I did my best. Hopefully if I'm it'll at least give you all something to work off of to figure it out correctly. Enjoy!
