Album: Weathered Tuning: Drop D Transcribed by: Philipp Strller & Adam Strachn Email: PStroeller@gmx.de & Creedoholic@hotmail.com Philipp and I both worked on this GREAT song. Notes: Intro/Verse There is a weird effect going on here. Delay or reverb? Pre-Chorus/Chorus Octave chords. Listen to song to get it right! Interlude clean but palm mute it! Bridge palm mute the open chords. Other Just follow the song.
