Stabbing Westward
"Waking Up Beside You"
From the album Darkest Days
Tab by Joe Costello ([email protected])

In my opinion, the best song that Stabbing Westward made. The other tabs aren't completely wrong,
but they're far enough off that this needed to be done. So on with the tab...

Drop D Tuning: low to high (D A D G B e)

Symbols used:
=============
* = let note or chord ring

*The song starts with keyboards for the duration of the 1st verse and chorus. Guitar enters at 1:50.
