The Shotgun Message Guitar Tablature
Band Title:Norma Jean
Song Title: The Shotgun Message
Album Title: Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child

Tuning: C# G# C# F# A# A#

Tabbed By: Hardcorepinch

Ok so this is the first song I've ever tried to tab on here, and I dont have my guitar on me, so I am just going to do it entirely by ear. The tuning is not a typo, that's how it actually is. You'll see why. This is all in order so play it as its written. Its a short song but has some spontaneous change ups, so I wrote a different measure for each one.
