Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
            Song: Second Chance
Band: Shinedown
Album: The Sound of Madness
Tuning: Standard
Tabbed: J. Griff ()
Comments: I didn't see anyone else put out a tab for this song, so I 
decided to tab it out. Shinedown is one of my most favorite bands and 
their new album is a little different, but it's very awesome. On the
downside, I'm quite disappointed with the "departure" of Jasin Todd.
That guy can't replaced.
I just laid out the chords for you, if you listen to the song then you can
get the strumming down. I know this might not be 100% accurate, but it's a
decent layout for the song. People keep telling me this song is played with
a capo, but I tried my hand at playing/tabbing it in standard. If there are
mistakes please let me know. Please rate and have fun.
The *'s represent when to strum during the pre-chorus.

Only for today
