Breaking Benjamin
"Away"
From the album "We Are Not Alone"
Tab by Joe Costello (joseph.costello@villanova.edu)

Note: This is mostly based on the tab by innerfears (which is very close). I play the chorus differently,
      and think I have the lead too.

Tuning: Drop-D and down a half step (low to high: Db Ab Db Gb Bb eb)

Symbols used:
/ = slide up
 = slide down
9b(10)r9 = Bend 9th fret note to pitch of 10th fret, then release
* = let note ring
. = palm-mute
<7> = harmonic
x = muted strings
