                                              PLEASE NOTE
This Tab is arranged for TWO GUITARS, so if it doesn't sound studio recorded perfect, cry about it. 
Only w/ three guiatrs and string section can you play this song exactly how it sounds on the album.
***THIS TAB TAB REPRESENTS MY INTERETATION OF THE SONG*** Be Thankful, I made it so you could play it 
at home, in your bedroom, or with your band. With that being said...
