			     Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings) - Afi
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Alix

Tuning: Standard, Half-Step Down


Okay so here's my first tab! All the other tabs seem to be flawed and really off
in some places so I thought I'd take a shot at it. Great song by a great band.  Be gentle.



Intro:

eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|12---14-14-14--12121212-10--121212--11-11-11--121212-14-14-14-12121212-10---|
Db|x----x--x--x---x-x-x-x--x---x-x-x---x--x--x---x-x-x--x--x--x---x-x-x-x--x---|
Ab|10-/-12-12-12/-10101010/-8/-101010/--9--9--9/--101010/-12-12-12/-10101010/8-|
Eb|-0----0--0--0---0-0-0-0---- 0-0-0----0--0--0----0-0-0--0--0--0---0-0-0-0-0--|

I apologize for the sloppiness, just know that you play the low E with the octaves.
then..

Ab| -----------------------------------|
Eb| -0h8h10-0h8h10-0h8h10-0h8h10-0-0---|


   Le Verse:

  The rhythm track goes like this...

eb|6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6----------------------|
Bb|6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6----------------------|
Gb|7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-----|
Db|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--1010101010101010----|
Ab|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--1010101010101010----|
Eb|6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-----|

But this melody comes out over it.


eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|-101010--9-9-9--17-17-17-17--14-14-14-14-14-14--13-13-13-14-14-14-----|
Db|-x-x-x---x-x-x--x--x--x--x---x--x--x--x--x- -x--x--x--x---x--x--x-----|
Ab|-8-8-8---7-7-7--15-15-15-15--12-12-12-12-12-12--11-11-11-12-12-12-----|
Eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then you repeat but add these octaves to the end...

eb|----------|             eb|--------|
Bb|-15--17---|     OR      Bb|--------|
Gb|-x---x----|             Gb|-19--21-|
Db|-12/-14---|             Db|--x--x--|
Ab|----------|             Ab|-17/-19-|
Eb|----------|             Eb|--------|


Pre-Chorus!!
