			   THE ONLY EXCEPTION - Paramore
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: rockett97
Email: rockett97@hotmail.com

Tuning: Standard

I found out no one had tabbed the exact chords the way Paramore plays it,
so I figured I’d give it a go.
I personally think these are 100% correct (I am sure the lead part is,
the 2d part I’m not completely sure about, but its near perfected..)

Have fun, don’t forget to RATE AND COMMENT!!!

(I tabbed both the lead as the 2d guitar part!!)
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Lead.

Strumming pattern is mostly just d-dudu
(*** for every little ‘strumming part of d-dudu I put down one chord in the following tab.
So: 4 times the same chords means you have to play four sessions of d-dudu)
