I FOUND THIS TAB ON THE FORUMS IN THESTARTINGLINEROCK.COM AND DECIDED TO PUT IT ON
HERE
The Starting Line- Lasting Impression
Tabbed by Nate Stewart
This is played in a slightly alternate tuning: (low to high) E,A,D,Gb,B,B. All you have to do is tune the
G string down a half step and the high E string down to match the B string.
Intro: The intro is played on 2 guitars. I figured out the part for the guitar that’s played higher because
I though that would be more recognizable.

E--7--0--4---x-2-2-x-4-4-x-0-0-x-0-0-----------------
Interlude #2- Could be strummed as chords or picked, both sound good
B---0----0----0----0----------------------
B---0----0----0----0----------------------
G---0----0----0----0----------------------
D---6----4----6----2----------------------
A---x----x----4----2----------------------
E---4----2---------0----------------------
Verse 2- Played the virtually the same as Verse 1 except these sounds like more of an addition to the
3rd chord. For this verse play the chord
B----0--------------------------------
B----0--------------------------------
G----9--------------------------------
D----9--------------------------------
A----7--------------------------------
E----9--------------------------------
It’s a subtle difference but that’s just how it sounds to me.
Bridge- When the bridge ends quickly go into the chorus to finish.
