Song: The Rest of My Life Album: Action Pact [2003] Words and Music by: Sloan Re-written by: Joey Lavoie [[email protected]]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played in standard tuning [low to high: E A D G B E].
*Note: Many parts won't sound right if you don't use PERFECT timing.
**Note: I only put each chord once, if you listen they are played more than that. Listen and you'll pick up on where to play them.
***Note: It would've took hours more to type out each part for Patrick, Jay, and the Ghost player [Patrick or Jay overlapping in the studio], so I've made this tab only arranged for one guitar.
****Note: Many times in the background you'll hear the Ghost player play the root notes of each chord using heavy distortion, so keep your ears open for that.
