The Swellers - The Best I Ever Had

      
Preliminary Wall of text from JackD
Since no one submitted a tab for this song I decided to figure it out myself while I was
being disowned for a music project. I don't really know the
anything about the band, but the intro riff caught my attention and I figured I'd tab it
for funsies. To those I play with, thanks for ditching after
all that hard work! >8^(
Tuning: 1/2 step down (tune sixth fret of low E to A string then tune A to E on low E's
fifth like you would in standard and so forth for the rest)
Song... Finally
*=palm mute; X2=play twice; / =slide; ~ =let it ring, baby, add some vibrato if you're
feeling it;

Verse
-You can reuse the intro for this but I think a traditional punk rock power chord
riff works better, like so
