For this part, strike and bend 20 to 22. 
While still being bended, strike the note
again, release the bend, and pull-off to
17. (Confusing, eh?)
I noticed that every other tab skipped
this part, heh. What losers.

Notes: James and Kirk have a lot of mistakes in this song.
You can hear James clearly mess up in the intro, when he goes up to C major, which
is 14 seconds into the song. He hits some other strings by accident. I'm not
going to list all the mistakes.

Kirk is the worst guitarist. Ever. If you want to listen to a good metal guitarist,
listen to Extreme. Listen to their song 'He-Man Woman Hater'

This is my first tab. I plan to tab a lot of other songs.
My next song that im tabbing is the Giygas music from Earthbound (I'm Earthbound crazy).
If you want a guitar tab that isn't here, you can contact me at Coff2000@aol.com,
or instant message me at Atticus102788 on AIM.
