                           Alejandro - All Time Low

Email: [email protected] (for any questions only)! :)

Something I learnt by ear but it's not exactly how All Time Low played it at the Live 
but this sounds similar (:
This is my first tab that I've done so it may not be perfect!
You can check out my video of me playing it for the strumming etc. (:

The strumming that I've written on the tab may not be exact, just listen to the song and 
get it! It's not that difficult! :D

Tuning: DAGDAD

Intro:
'Oh, oh...' - palm mute for each chord (strum up)
d|---------------------------|

A|-5-5----0-0----7-7-7-7-----|

After that strum a few times on the last chord and then go into pre-chorus

Verse 2:

It's similar to the INTRO with the same palm muting etc.
But the first time you do it, strum 3 times only for last chord then palm mute
