When You Were Young - The Killers

TABBED BY: Klooa (Based off cdmoser's Tab)
COMMENTS Or questions to: Kurokitsume@gmail.com


Ok, so This was Tabbed By me an' a friend From cdmoser's (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/k/killers/when_you_were_young_ver8_tab.htm) tab of this.
So Credit for the major stuff goes to him.

What we did was Tab this out to be played by a bassist and a drummer, getting all
the audiable and clearer parts of the song that we could to make it an
acceptable mash of the song.

So this for all the Bassists tired of playing rhythm!

You might need to tune up a bit though.
