=============================================================================
This is one hell of a tab do write out all as one so I've divided it into
two sections:
(1) - Lead
(2) - Rhythm
You will find all the lead tabbed first and then the chords with lyrics
below.
GUITAR TUNINGS:
LEAD - Standard (E A D G B e)
RHYTHM - Tune to (E A B G B Eb)
=============================================================================
(LEAD SECTION)
INTRO: Note that there are two lead guitars playing simultaneously here
