Roulette Dares (the haunt)
tabbed by Dan Van Heuklom




I'm pretty sure this is how most of the song is played
although I'm not entirely sure i have all the neck positions correct
and all that jazz.  I find this the easiest way to play it.


by the way

I didnt tab out this part right here, because its another  guitar solo.
At the end of this part he says "inside" twice
and then you go into the chorus again
