Autism Vaccine Blues - Dave Hause
Half-step down tuning: D#G#C#F#A#d#
Transcribed by Jack Cookson (Torn_Asunder)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a great new Hause song I first heard when he supported Alkaline Trio
on their 15th Anniversary tour. It's quite straight forward chord wise, but
to get the rhythm I suggest listening to this live version:
