Song: Escape from the a-bomb house
Artist: less than jake
Album: Anthem
Tabbed by: Jon Holmes
Tuning: Standard
This song rules, its played fast on the cd, with overdrive, but i find it also sounds
slow and clean when using the full chords.
The rhythm on here is all wrong, just play it how you like it, or how you think it goes.
