/ Further Seems Forever / The Moon Is Down (2001) / Snowbirds and Townies guitar tab

Song: Snowbirds and Townies
Artist: Further Seems Forever
Album: The Moon is Down
Tabbed by: Mark (emo_kid3@hotmail.com)

I heard some good reviews of my first FSF tab, On Legendary,
so I decided I’d try out another one of their songs.  Just as a warning,
a lot of the timings are really strange, so you should listen
closely to the song for them.
