B|----| BURY OUR FRIENDS - Sleater-Kinney----
G|-----------------------------------------|
Tabbed by: Cate
Tuning: standard
I'm pretty sure I combined guitars here
but I think it's mostly Carrie Brownstein's
part (I'm also assuming Corin still plays rhythm).
Let me know in the comments if you have
corrections/suggestions. :D

*I'm not sure if these are played as part of a chord
or if it's both guitars but you could either play
both notes together or if not, the prominent note to
me is A9.
