I've been a huge fan of the Anniversary since 11th grade, and the lack of tabs on the internet makes me sad. I've tabbed this song out because my brother is starting to learn guitar and really wants to learn this song. If anybody is familiar with guitar, the Anniversary, this song, or anything else that could help me get this right, please post a comment or contact me with any corrections. I will add the disclaimer that this is my first tab - although I did tab a Bright Eyes song, "Everything Must Belong Somewhere," with few descrepencies to a version I found online.
Edit: Apparently the alignment was basically destroyed when I posted this. For a properly aligned version look here.
Edit: I've recorded enough of my tab to form a comparison, listen to it and compare it with the original and let me know what you think. ( I recorded my version with a computer mic which is part of a pair of headphones. In other words, sorry about my breathing but the mic was right next to my face. )

So I know you wrote this forever ago, and maybe you figured it out already. This song came through my head today and I was able to figure out most of it on my apartment floor, but I came across your post when I got impatient.
Just a note: change the first C to an Am in the verses and I think you nailed it. Like 4 years ago...
Thanks!
