Anthem Of Our Dying Day by Story Of The Year Artist: Story of the Year Song: Anthem of Our Dying Day Album: Page Avenue E-Mail: svlehtinen@yahoo.ca Transcribed by Steve Lehtinen NOTES: I was sick and tired of seeing versions of this song that were so wrong it almost seems like the people tabbing it out weren't evening listening to it. I hope you find this tab a little more useful. Intro Clean tuning e----------------------| B----------------------| You'll have to figure out G----------------------| the strumming. It's D--7-------11--------9-| fairly simple. A--4--------9--------7-| D--x--------0--------x-| End Intro Pre-Chorus (0:40) e----------------------------| You have a little B----------------------------| freedom here. Just G----------------------------| listen to the song D--7--xxx--7--xxx--7-xxx--7--| for the combination A--0--xxx--0--xxx--0-xxx--0--| of strumming that D--0--xxx--0--xxx--0-xxx--0--| sounds good to you. End Pre-Chorus Chorus (0:45) e--------------------------------| B--------------------------------| You can strum these chords G-----------------------6------7-| or just hit them once and D--7------2------4------6------7-| let it ring. A--7------2------4------4------5-| D--7------2------4---------------| End Chorus Figure 1 (0:59) e------------------| B------------------| G------------------| x4 D--4---------7h----| A--4------7h----7h-| D--4---4h----------| e--------------------| B--------------------| Just play the 7 over G--------------------| and over again with D--------------------| a little delay and strum A--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| quieter as you go.
