Hello all MDB fans! I wanted to make a contribution to The 's Metal
Community and i figured a tab would do the trick. This is my favorite MDB
tune and when i decided to learn it i was shocked and appalled by the only
"For You" tab available.  It's horrendous!!  This tab is much better and
it's complete.  It's also the first song i've ever tabbed out so i hope i
didn't mess anything up. I won't bother with tabbing out palm muting when 
it's
a simple song like this, you should easily be able to hear it for yourself.
If you have anything you would like to say to me, feel free to email me at 
DBYHTG@hotmail.com  Thanks!


As far as this riff goes, i slide from note to note because i think
   it sounds better and fits the tone of the song.  Im not sure if that
   is how it is actually played.  I leave the decision up to you...
