Hey folks, I haven't found a tab anywhere for the Marine's Hymn on guitar, so I made my own by listening to some videos on youtube. I worked out three version, one an octave lower, one normal, one higher.

If you happen to know a more accurate version, please inform me! Thanks.

For some reason, the tab got shifted over... It used to look right. But what notes have I left out? I think I have acounted for all the sylables in the verse.

ok, nver mind what i said earlier, it was the scooting around of notes that messed me up before

that being said, what kinds of guitar(s) do you play?

I have a Les Paul, BB King Lucille, SG, Explorer , 2 American Fender Strats, and 1 Fender Tele. ( well, and one peavy bass, but I almost never play it)

I have a Squier Strat which I am constantly remodeling, a Schecter C+1 electric, a Martin D28 Acoustic, and a Fender Aerodyne Bass. Man, I'm really jealous of your collection, especially the Telecaster. I need to get my hands on one of those, or maybe a Gretsch.
