My son and I (mostly my son) have bits and pieces of this great song figured out, but I'd love to see the entire song tabbed somewhere. Does anyone have it?

Thanks.

Well, I had to go see Flyleaf in concert, and video record their guitarist to get the tab. It's still not 100% correct, but I'm getting closer.

If anyone wants to suggest corrections, please feel free. Thanks.

Arise
By: Flyleaf
From: Memento Mori

Drop D Tuning: D A D G B e
The verse and chorus are correct. The chords of the pre-chorus are at least close. I have a hard time picking out those chords in the mix, so had to resort to video recording Sameer at a recent show (Flyleaf is great live by the way). So, all of this tab is “Guitar 1” (Sameer) only. Please comment and suggest corrections. Thanks.
