Tabbed by SkaBoy87

Ok this is a mega fast-paced song! One of my favourites off of "Anthem".

Please send any feedback to stu_milne2k@hotmail.com
Hope you like this tab! Please rate it! B-)

The song is arranged for two guitars.
while the main riff is played by guitar one,
guitar two plays chords to back it.
I havent tabbed these parts,
But they are just powerchords im sure you'll work them out
if you want to play them.

oh yeh and sorry that i can't fit the whole main riff into one line.

Standard tuning (EADGBe)
