"Forsaken"
This is my first tab posted so bare with me. I wanted a way to play this on my 
acoustic so here is my tab for it. I based it more of the comatose comes alive 
because I like how it starts off with the chorus. I can't say this is right or not 
because there isnt really an acoustic version. I haven't figure out the bridge but 
the chords are pretty much the same through out the song. Strumming shouldnt be 
that difficult. Hope this tab helps you
