Covered In Cowardice Tab

by Billy Talent


Song: Covered In Cowardice
Artist: Billy Talent
Album: Billy Talent II

This is a fun song to play and it’s not very hard at all. Unfortunately I had to tab out
third chorus in full because it is slightly different from the other ones at the end,
watch for that. I have arranged all the notes according to the timing of the song so it 
be easy enough to follow. And finally, if you want to print out this tab, simply use
font Courier New, size 9. This will ensure that each and every line of tab has all four 
on the same page. Enjoy!
