Tuning: ½ a step down (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb.)
Guitar I: Jeff Hanneman
Guitar II: Kerry King
The intro to this song is a bit tricky to tab out especially when I couldn't find a live
film clip of it that I could watch to help me, but I’m certain that this tab is right.
Listen to the song through head phones, it's right!
HAVE FUN!!!…………
