Add some cello, bass, and a little drums, and you can play "Sink to the Beat".
The cello andbass may have thrown off the notes a bit,
but I'd say it's pretty accurate. Hopefully
I can tab out some more Cursive stuff,
but it's pretty tough. I have the main riff
to "Making Friends and Acquaintances" and "The Night
I Lost the Will to Fight" and the intro to "The Martyr",
if you want them.
PLAY TOO ..
