A Friendly Goodbye

Bowling For Soup

Text File

Tuning: Guitar 1&2: Standard
There's really only a difference in the guitars in the intro/hook, the rest of the song 
play the same thing. This is my first time doing a tab so it might not look great but 
definitely accurate.

* = palm mute
/ = pickscrape

There also seems to be some high note action going on, but it's sorta inaudible. Not 
it won't be a huge loss, but I think it's something like this:

[---------------------------]
[---14-12---14-12---14-12---]

And that should do it! Let me know if I should keep doing these or just stick to playing.
