                             Zeromus - The Black Mages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: JenoUnion
E-mail: CryofthePlanet@hotmail.com

This is without a doubt my favorite Black Mages song, but I couldn't find any tabs of it. I
tried my hand at learning it by ear and this is what I got. It might not be 100% accurate, but
it's a pretty good start. If some parts are confusing, consult the key.
