Cry Me A River - Lost Prophets
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artist: Lost Prophets
Title: Cry Me A River
Tuning: Dropped D (DADGBe) Low to high
Tabber: a_guy_called_richard@hotmail.com
I met Lee Gaze in Cardiff the other week and he was great, so i
thought id come home and learn a load of Lost Prophets songs
but couldn't find any for this song, so i figured it out myself.
Intro: (Updated: 01 June 2004)
Pause slighty after the 8 on the very first part. You'll
need to listen to the song to hear what i mean. It only does
this in the Intro, you play the rest of the song as tabbed later.
