The Art Of American Footbal Chords
The Art Of American Footbal by Funeral For a Friend is a guitar song. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
Probably not perfect but there aren't any other tabs for it so I
tried to work it out myself.
The performance can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6S7aCpQ3So
People were asking for a text version of my guitar pro file so here it
is.
In fact, this has a few improvements to the original:
