Song: Vanishings By: Secret and Whisper Album: Great White Whale 2008 Tuning: Drop C (CGCFAD) This is my first tab. If you find any mistakes, please post a correction so that we can make this as accurate as possible! Update 11/6/09: Made several corrections to Verse 1, redid most of the tremolo sections, made slight changes to guitar 2's part in the "phantom walks to the sea" and "lost it all" sections. I promise you this tab is at least 95% accurate.
