This Tab is Pretty Much how Mike DeWolf of Taproot plays it...he doesn't use
those power chords that every other tab is using. Watch the video on the
CD.....you can see!!!! Its not exact but Taproot uses 2 guitars!!!!!!

| I can't wait for the new cd to come out. This is amazing, I saw it live and it just blew me away. I've been trying to find a bootleg version to rock but alas no luck... It's got radio potential but people will be sitting back rocking out and then be like yeah 'I get it'. It's so pure and it speaks for itself. | |

| Taproot is my fav. band, I saw them over 5 times live now. I like right outside Detroit, and I was at this record release. I must say this song is good, but it's too mainstream to me too much radio play kills a song. This isn't my favorite song by them at all, but it's okay... too bad it's dead now... | |

| Gift simply kicked ass, and when I first heard this song I was so relieved to know that Taproot REALLY doesnt need Fred Durst and that they will not fall and be another "one album" band. One of few song thats get you the first time you hear it. Excellent work guys!!! | |
