                             Anna Nalick - Catalyst
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: heyray
 
This tab was done according to the acoustic version of "Catalyst," but applies for both
it and the album version as well. If you haven't downloaded the acoustic version off of
YahooMusic I strongly recommend it. It is pretty straightforward, and if you have the
acoustic version it will be easier to play along with.  The song is absolutely beautiful,
if you haven't heard of Anna Nalick there is a good chance you will soon.  Please send
any comments or suggestions to heyray13@hotmail.com  The tab should be pretty close to
perfect, the only areas that might be iffy are those in the middle of the chorus.
So, if you think something else sounds better let me know!

And that's it!
"These LA lights, they don't shine quite as bright as back in Frisco.  Do you wanna
though, still wanna go?"
 
Be sure to check out my "Breathe (2am)" tab as well (ver 4). I've seen that song
performed live a couple times and know it is pretty accurate.

the only thing that doesn't sound right is the Em in the chorus...not that i can quite tell you what it should be. Otherwise I love it. Easier then I thought it would be.
the bass notes were wrong...well non existent actually, Check the other version of Catalyst it has all the bass notes correct.
