Cath Tab

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             Cath... - Death Cab for Cutie
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is as close to what Ben plays that I've been able to tab.
One or two differences here and there possibly, but it sounds
and looks correct. For strumming patterns, listen to the song
and watch live videos.
 
Tuning: Standard E
