Academy Fight Song(Tabs)

	        
Tuning: E-A-D-G-Bb-D  

*I read somewhere that Roger Miller tuned down his B to Bb and his E to D in order to create 
a kind of G Minor tuning*. It's apparent in the song when when jangles the chords. 

This band is too good to have so few tabs. This song is too great to just have the sub-par R.E.M  
version only tabbed out 

Play loud enough to get tinnitus
