Author Note: This song is a fantastic song it reminds me of the Rush of Blood to the Head Era with the
buildup and release, really amazing.
It is really powerful I feel it speaks a lot about screwed up legal systems and racism involved
around the world.
Once I have the time I'll tab the whole thing out however this is the simple version.
Also, the Fdim is an optional chord in the bridge. It acts as a transitional chord. Sounds good but optional
And imo the brige sounds the best when you triple pick the bottom 3 and 4 strings only for the Fm, Fdim and A#7
Enjoy!

Are you supposed to grab me like this?
