Rise Against – Swing Life Away chords ver. 2

Eb Tuning (down a half step)

I had to learn this song for my band, and found many versions which I thought were
inaccurate. This is what I hear; it's not perfect but I believe it's closer than most other
versions I've found. The numbers like this (2) above lyrics mean how many measures that 
chord is strummed. I tried my best to notate this accurately, but you'll have to know the
song to get it perfect.
