Relient K - Sadie Hawkins Dance Tab

Intro: Ok, some tabbers actually recognized that there are two guitar

parts in the intro, but the parts were wrong, probably because

it's tough to hear. I tabbed what I heard being played, and it's

pretty close if not perfect (thanks ryanwood). I divided the intro

into two parts, clean and distorted, so if I refer to Intro Part 1,

you'll know what I mean.
