Awesome song. Some of the other tabs were right, but this is a bit easier to play.
moved it lower down the fretboard, onto the higher strings. Don't think it's been done on
others?
I know I've not tabbed the guitar 2 part, but if I had, I'd have kept the intro further
the neck. This is for single guitarists, mainly. :)
Standard tuning.
Tabbed by Tucker.
Edit: Fixed everything I missed before. Sorry, I should have checked it over properly!
