Cage The Elephant – Back Against The Wall tab ver. 3

i have been in the process of trying to make an "ultimate tab." basically i saw a green 
day tab that was set up like this and thought it was a great idea and wanted to expand 
on this. definition: tab with every instrument needed to play song included.  this 
tab is perfect for covers.
