Band: Finger Eleven
Song: For The Ocean
Album: The Greyest of Blue Skies

This isn’t a hard song but the singing makes it sound great! I have the
CD so it should be completely accurate! The tuning is Dropped D and
down a half step (Drop F). Enjoy.


Wait 4 measures- song starts off with heavy distortion (This part is
also used after a few choruses) Play the whole thing twice.
3X:                         Then (4th time):
