Author/Artist: Megadeth Title: This Was My Life Album: Countdown to Extinction Transcribed by: Ryan Jodoin Email: fire_drag14@hotmail.com This is a great song. I know it's a long tab, but it works. As for the solo, I couldn't think of any other way to put it. Too lazy to do staffs. It would take too much space anyway lol You should know the tab signs. If you don't, you shouldn't be trying to learn this song XD Riff 1 e|----------------------------------| |---| B|----------------------------------| |---| G|-------------------------------9-| |-.-|
