Artist: Anberlin Song: Alexithymia Album: Cities above. Tuning: C#, A, D, G (It is much easier playing it on a 5-string with the additional B-string but this is the to play it on a 4-string with only the E-string being detuned. You only need to detune down to a C# to play the low note during the “break” and “bridge”. Otherwise, you can tune it down to D and hit the C# an octave higher.) [Key for this tab] “#’s on top” = beat of the measure ~ = let it ring [Spacing] One “-“ = 16th beat 1...2...3...4... |----------------| |----------------| |2-0-2-0-2-0-2-0-| |----------------| Intro:
