Tuning: Standard

This is a tab for the song "Ennui" off of VersaEmerge's first EP, "Cities Built On 
This EP was with the band's original vocalist, Spencer Pearson. I tabbed the song in Standard 
I am sure it is played in Drop D; I simply found it to sound better when played in Standard.
Please check the song out and play along to hear where certain parts go or to get an 
idea of how the song is played. Please contact me with any issues, questions, or comments!
Thanks, Matt
