Protest The Hero
KEZIA (2005)

Tabbed by Jordo:

This tab look a long time to do, but I think its pretty much correct. Where two guitars are used,
I've put the parts together, makes it easier for me. Alot of the parts in this song are played by both
guitarists. Any comments or criticms are welcomed and encouraged. Dont forget to downtune! Enjoy

Tune down to C#G#C#F#A#D#
(drop D, then half step down)

LEGEND:
h    hammer on
p    pull off
T    tap
PM   palm mute
n*   pinch harmonic
  natural harmonic
/    slide
