Tabbed by Brownbear93

Tuning is a half step down

There's several guitar tracks on this one giving it that huge sound. 
I tried to combine a couple of tracks here and there just to simplify it.

Guitar 1 and 3:w/ talkbox
Guitar 2: clean electric 
Guitar 4: Acoustic

Intro Solo: (played with a talkbox but a wah works perfectly fine)
 G1(2 guitars for 1)
