Okay, so I can't take all the credit for this. I just used some of the chords from the
version that someone tabbed out. They were unregistered so I can't exactly give them
credit for a few of the chords. Anyway, since we got that out of the way, I did add in
the lead parts and changed up some of the other riffs.

And that's it. The lead part in the final chorus is kinda tough to hear so I'm not sure
I got that right. If you have any questions or comments email me at
