	     Desperate Times Desperate Measures - Under0ath
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Tucker Yates
Email: guitaristtuck@aim.com

Tuning: Drop D (D-A-D-G-B-E)


Notes:
Hopefully I'll get this out before the new album, so anyone who notices that this
is an awesome song and wants to know how to play it will be able to do so. A couple of things to consider:

In the intro, i'm not sure about the muted chords. They could be either D, D#, or E, but it sounded like D# to me. You choose for yourself.

The # marks in the bridge don't represent sharps, they represent random feedback.

The 4th Chord in the second part of the bridge may be an A, not an A#.

The color guitar in the second part of the chorus is hard to hear and i could have tabbed it wrong. I tabbed it how it sounded to me.

That's pretty much it. Underoath rocks and i hope i did their new song justice with this tab!

Outro:

-The final Stretch! There's a lot of feedback. 1st guitar needs to hold the D from the chorus while the 2nd guitar plays this

-sweet! That's the song! Give it some practice and a nice tone, and you may be able to play it as well as they do... or maybe not quite that good. 

-give me suggestions for improving the tab if you have any
