Paper Wings Rise Against

Paper Wings (Acoustic)
Rise Against
Siren Song of the Counter Culture
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of my all time favorite songs from one of my all time favorite bands.
If you want to tune your guitar down for this, there is nothing wrong
with that. Just know that you will be playing 2-and-a-half steps lower
thtn those of us who have capos, And i'll tack that on there so you can
play, too! This is meant to be played on an acoustic guitar and strummed
with some sort of rythym. Okay, let us start!
tuning: Standard (Capo on 3) OR Down one half step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
