The Word You Wield by Say Anything Song: The Word You Wield Album: In Defense of the Genre Tabbed by: Steve Smith Tuning: Standard I was just fooling around one day, hit the first chord of the song by accident, and no one else had a tab for this song, so I figured I share. I'm pretty sure most of it is with the exception of maybe the bridge.
