Hey...this song is a tough one to tab...kinda difficult.
I did the best I could...i think it sounds good though...
It is very awkward...i am including 2 versions...the one
in drop B tuning...and another in a tuning I prefer to use,
it?s and experimental tuning...to get the natural harmonic
to ring out...it sounds better this way trust me, so try it
out...cuz it?s kick ass...
there are minor variations throught...pleez rate it!...


a note in < > is a natural harmonic...if you don?t know
what that is, place your finger above that fret on the
string without pushing it on the fret...
