All American Rejects - It Ends Tonight Acoustic

this is my first tab , so i hope this is up to scratch . if anything is not
very understandable please leave a comment or email ( nickdaly1@yahoo . co . nz )

this is an easy song , and don’t be fooled by the tricky looking chords ( such
as Em7/B ) , they merely state where you should start strumming from!

* * * * all chords are played to four beats , except Esus and E ( in the verses )
which are 2 beats . for example it would go Am – 2 – 3 – 4 – F – 2 – 3 – 4 – Dm – 2 – 3 – 4 – Esus – 2 –
E ( 3 ) – 4 . hope that explains it : ) * * * *

* * * * as the chorus leads into the bridge , the ’am’ leads into the bridge , so
the ’am’ in brackets is not played again , this is just to show it’s been
carried over , so the 4 beats start from when you play it at the end of the
chorus on ’tonight’ * * * *

* * * * in the last chorus/outro , the ’tonight’ in brackets is in the background
as ’when darkness . . . ’ is sung over the top of it , otherwise the ’c’ would
come in like ’it ends to ( C ) night’ * * * *

apologies if any of that is confusing!
