The Streetlight Diaries Search the City A Fire So Big Heaven Can See It Tabbed by: Cody Email: cjmeserole@yahoo.com Tuning: drop C# (Db, if you prefer) tune all your strings down a half step, and your E string down 1 1/2 steps to a C#. i won't change all the letters on the side, so just remember the tuning and you'll be fine. i learned the entire lead part from silas_001's tab, but i'm submitting a tab with this song in the correct tuning and with the backing guitar parts as well. his tab is Ver. 1, and it totally rocks, so i give him full credit for a good majority this tab. i'm just here to perfect it =) the tab is written with Gtr. 1 on top and Gtr. 2 on bottom. there are minor parts i don't know, so those are just blank, obviously. intro:
