I love Gallows and I loved this song so I thought I'd do my very best with this :) My
is pretty simple, I don't think this is how they play it but it's something for you to
with. I believe the tuning is D but it might be half-step. Bear in mind before you tell
it's in Drop D or some open tuning something like that this isn't how they play it, just
I do.
Right the way this works, if you listen to the song you can hear that before he switches
chord he strums a little of the previous chord. So for example when you see the switch
the C from the Em7, you strum the Em7 as normal and when you change to the Em7 you strum
quickly before changing. Where I've noted the chord changes is merely where the
changes.

Where the power chords are listed the octave can be replaced with an open note. This
make it sounds more hollow and lacking texture which can be used for eerie effect. For
x355xx to x35000. Use either one or your own variation, it's just fun to play with.
Em7 : 022033
C : x32010 OR C5: x355xx
B5 : x244xx
D5 : x57700
Bb7 : x13231
