WHAT IF - Cog
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Corbin Nesa
Email: c_nesa@hotmail.com
Tuning: Drop C
*I actually started tabbing this song out in Drop D but the outro and bridge
have some low power chords which could only be played in Drop C. So you can
still easily play the other parts in Standard/Drop D*
Well here it is. Couldn't believe there was not one tab of this song on the
net, so i thought i may aswell give it a go.
I don't think it's 100% correct, but it's pretty close.
Let me know what you think!
