A Modern Way of Letting Go Guitar Tablature
I love this song, its a really upbeat grungy one and great to kick off a set with.

Tuning - Standard in E flat (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) [tune down half a step]
Idlewild use this tuning more often than not and I now use it for my band, once you start tuning Eb there's no going back its just so much more kickass than standard!
