Manchester Orchestra
"Shake It Out"
Mean Everything to Nothing
Tabbed By: S2S (Cory McKnight)
Tuning: Drop Db (Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
Hey guys. Since Manchester Orchestra's new record "Simple Math" will be
coming out on May 10th, 2011, I think it's about time that we get a proper
tab up for this song! It's the one that really got me to pay attention to
this band back in 2009 and now they are some of my favorite gentlemen. ;-)
This tab combines Andy and Robert's parts so that it can be played by one guitar.

That's it! I apologize if it's a little bit confusing but there is a lot of
parts and a lot of variations on them that appear throughout the song. Feel
free to leave comments and corrections and don't forget to pick up the new
record when it comes out! Thanks.
