Alter Bridge - "Show Me A Sign"
From "AB III"
Tuning: Drop Db
tabbed by jjhand

Mark said this song was one of his favorites while recording AB III.
The ringing chords & heavy parts make this song fit perfect with lyrics
describing a struggle with faith & hopelessness. A few things in the tab
came from a good youtube cover- http://www.youtube.com/watch?vdY44HDVCpuk
