Band:Thrice
Title: As The Ruin Falls
Album: Identity Crisis

ONLY RHYTHM
Standard Tuning
~ = ring
() = palm mute
/ = slide
x = stop (dont let ring)

Now as we all know thrice is very difficult band to play for us  
beginners but i'm going to try to make it as easy to play as i 
can. warning it does go pretty fast so dont blink or else you'll 
miss it. if you remember the lyrics then this should be easy to 
follow but if you dont then you might get lost a little. feed 
back is appreciated
