Alkaline Trio - Cringe
Album - Godd**nit
Tabbed by dirtbikejoe47 ([email protected])

This tab follows the song straight through.  A select few parts
are written once with a repeat[x] written by it.  I feel this
is the most accurate tab for cringe on the internet!  

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy learning to play Alk3 songs
just like Matt Skiba!
