Sink Or Swim

Hedley

Tom original: Ebm Capotraste: Sem capotraste Acordes: 0
Ebm
Tabbed by: Lucas Goldson
Tuning: Drop C# (C#G#C#F#A#D#)
This song has been out for almost 10 years and there's no tabs or even chords for it! So I figured I might
as well do it. It's one of my favourite Hedley songs and you probably haven't heard of it. It's also their
heaviest song in my opinion, so it's very guitar-driven too.
Also, this song is in  C# tuning BUT I transposed it to Drop D as well at the bottom. The only difference
is that you need to play the low C#  power chord in this song an octave up as Drop D isn't low enough to
play those notes. Anyway enjoy!
