Catatonic Tab

by Signs Of Betrayal


This is my first tab so please be generous and leave some tips for me. I've been playing 
for two years but im a drummer more than a guitarist. An awesome song from a very 
band that has amazing potential like many from Phoenix.


Since im not familiar with the tuning on a guitar that well i recommend a low tuning of 
drop C or B. If someone could put there input in that would be great.
