SO, this is my version of Ready to Fall by Rise Against, rhythm and lead guitar.  
It is all my own interpretation of the song.  Verse 1 I copied almost directly 
from version 2 but needed to change a few things. I needed to make a few changes 
to all the other parts too, so im making this tab.  
ENJOY :D:D:D:D:D:D
