Gtp chords: Stories
Song lyrics:
Tabber: Daniel S.
Email: [email protected]
This song is track 10 on the debut album from Trapt. It is a great song and
fairly easy to learn if you listen to the song while you play for the rhythms.
I'd like to see more Trapt on here, they're a great band. I'll try to do my part
and put more Trapt on here as well.
**I included the lyrics that correspond with when the chords are played for ease**

.......heeeeeeeeere (then one last time more slowly)
h- hammer on
p- pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slide up
- slide down
v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~)
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping
The entire song is tabbed in order, so just follow along for the whole song,
that's it! It's really not that much to learn, as most of the
chords/verses repeat, etc. Email me with any questions. I spent many
hours perfecting this and I'm sure its right. It's also the only tab of this song
you'll find. Hope it was helpful!
