Ambrosia Tab

by Alesana


song; Ambrosia (acoustic)
band; Alesana
cd; On Frail Of Vanity And Wax

ok this tab can be played in Drop D# or Drop D I think its easier to play in Drop D. and 
why I tabbed it out in Drop D. listen to the song for the strumming patterns. It's 
hard to explain on here. the song is played pretty fast to.
this is acoustic how me and my band play it!!!!
