Song: Politicians
Artist: Switchfoot
Album Nothing is sound

Great song by a great band. 
I made a new tab because I didn’t think the other ones were correct. I’ve been p
laying this song for awhile and I think it’s pretty much right. I just did the m
ain guitar not the other one so if anyone wants to tab the second guitar that’s 
cool. Have fun playing!

b=bend
/=slide
( ),* =harmonics
x=palm mute
h=hammer on
p=pull off

A 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
D 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 instead of 9
