REAL FANS SUPPORT BANDS BY PURCHASING THEIR CD'S!!!


Tuning: Half-Step Down


. = Palm-Muted
~ = hold note
^ = vibrate
p = pull off
h = hammer on
/ = slide up
\ = slide down


Like all the other tabs, this is my own interpretation of the song. The chords 
are very accurate tho their meant to be played acustically and this 
tab was taken from the studio verions which only contains piano and bowed 
instruments. Also please check your tuning, this tab is for half-step 
down tuning!
