Biography:
With the release of their debut EP, Hearts and Spades, the San Francisco Bay Area twenty-somethings better known as I the Mighty are proving themselves a musically seismic force to be reckoned with. With their high-energy, technical riffs and singer Brent Walsh's distinctive wailing, I the Mighty can be best compared to bands like Circa Survive and Say Anything.
It didn't take long for I the Mighty to start making an impression on the West Coast.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
For this song, I basically mashed together the lead guitar and rhythm guitar parts to make it possible
for one person to play the song acoustically. Although the verses are picked, I added some chords for
those who would prefer to strum instead of pick.
They sound alright.
I also added an extra note in for most of the power chords just because I think it sounds better.
I dont know if the chord names are right at all, but its mostly for ease throughout the tab.
