Song - It Must Really Suck To Be Four Year Strong Right Now
Artist - Four Year Strong
Tuning - Drop D (D A D G B e)
Yes, I know that Four Year Strong tune to standard D, before all you tuning nazis go
at me, but I worked it out in Drop D. I'm sure you can re-work it into D standard if it
that much.

I think that's about it. I know it's probably got a few errors, but it sounds decent
when I attempt to play it.
Any suggestions for alterations and such would be appreciated.
Thanks =]
Also, get Four Year Strong's album 'Enemy Of The World.' It's fucking sick.
