ok so this is my first tab thingy!
please tell me what you think!
i heard Rise Against's cover of this song and fell in love with it
you can watch them play it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97o--kJTpRk
since i only have 2 hands and can only play one guitar at a time, i just decided
to kinda make my own way of doing this song.
it sounds a bit like the original but not as epic.....
well not really lmao, well i like it nevertheless...
its in standard tuning and its basically just the G chord and the C chord a bunch
of times with a few D chords
and Bm's so its really easy. (if i can play it you can play it, TRUST ME)
ok here it is
it may not be exactly right

Caught up in a fable | we watched the towers grow.
*after you play the chorus for verse 2 play the intro, however many times u want lol*
verse 3: we heard the singer playing | and how we cheered for more.
the crowd had rushed together| just trying to keep warm
Chorus: OK well iM pretty sure this is the chorus
