My American Heart

My American Heart - All My Friends guitar tab

this is my first tab so lemme know what you think. I know its not perfect so feel free

help me make it better if you see something i missed.

i busted the high e-string on my ovation so this is tabbed without it.

one of my favorite songs on the new cd im really surprised nobody has yet tabbed it, it

easy enough but again this is all by ear, make your own corrections as you go i guess.

tuning: EADF#B- (missing e-string, can also be played in standard im sure but i just

the f# in there. also try tuning high e to f#, gives for a really nice sound if you like

open high strings sometimes.)

()- ghost notes meant for keeping timing, i usually play them because it's a little

to sing and play that way

v- downstroke strum

^- upstroke strum

x- fret muted

repeat VERSE 2 twice, the first time played is the acoustic solo, the first repeat is

he sings "You know I won't mind/ If the current falls over you", then repeat once more

that and it's " You know I won't mind/ If the current falls over me too, because-"

repeat 4x

thats basically it, theres a whistle/acoustic solo where you just strum the verse. he

with the chorus strumming but it sounds like he slides up into the opening chord of the

from the 8th fret on the low e. he also does a little bit different strumming pattern

im too lazy to fully tab the ending, just play it how you wanna play it.
