Song: I Surrender
Artist: A Day To Remember
Album: Common Courtesy
Released: 2013
Notes:
==
SUPER IMPORTANT: Many of the chords are ANTICIPATED, meaning the transition is sooner
than you think it is. I tried to space it out appropriately throughout the text. Trust me,
listen to the recording.
This is the way it's played on the recording, at least from what I can tell. Feel free
to substitute all power chords for standard full chords or vice versa. Have a nice day :^)
