Boys Like Girls - Broken Man Tabs

Just putting it up the way they play it in open tuning.

-On the chord parts I'm sure you can figure out the strumming on your own, just
giving you the chords.


Okay, the beginning is a sample, because I have seen them do it live and Martin
or Paul don't play it.

But if you want to have fun with it and play it anyway here are the notes.
