Band: Blue Skies at War
Song: Better Time
Tuning: Drop-D
I haven't seen any tabs up yet from B.S.A.W. so here's the first. This is a great
instead of strumming all of the notes at the end of the part, you just hit the not
once and let it ring. I wasn't gonna tab that stuff out cause it's a pretty simple
concept. If you listen to the song, you'll know what to do.
Intro 8x (Gtr.1 starts then Gtr.2 jumps in after 2nd time)

Thats everything except for the very last part of the interlude where I couldn't make
anything out. If someone figures it out please send it to me so that I can add it. For
the rest I am very confident that this tab is 99% correct.
