Jimmy Eat World - If You Dont Dont Acoustic

this is not a direct translation of the song . this is my arrangement of it acoustically ,
as i’ve never actually heard an official acoustic version . this is essentially the same
song; same chords just a different tuning and different positioning so as to compliment
it better for a solo acoustic guitar .

look at the other tabs for the solo part if you want it ( they should match my chords
just fine ) . i designed this tab for a single guitar , but i do like to a capella the solo;
go nuts , the crowd will love the energy , plus it’s pretty entertaining ( having a harmony
singer can make this part sound really cool ) .

tuning : half – step down
