Crawling in the Dark - Acoustic
Promo CD at Target stores
Tabbed by Pete Huitsing (phuitsing@hotmail.com)

Open E tuning -

 High e stays e
 B stays B
 G up to G#
 D up to E
 A up to B
 Low E stays E

This is a great song that was redone in acoustic version on Hoobastank's promo CD 
sold in Target stores only.  The album version is much different from the acoustic 
version.  I have a video of Doug and Dan playing the acoustic version from which I 
tabbed the song; It should be accurate.  It is a little tricky at first.

I noticed that another individual has put his "version" of this song.  It is obvious
to see that he copied my entire tab and changed a few tiny pieces...  Mine is the
original, and I will still contend the mine is accurate and his is not.

Intro

Some people have asked me how the fingering is done on the intro.  It is as follows:
Pinky finger on the high B string. (going between 2nd and 3rd fret)
Index finger on the G# string.
Middle and ring finger hammering the two lowest strings.
