                             Breakdown - Random Hero
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a rough tab I came up with by ear in about 15min.  It might not be perfect but 
its enough
to be able to play along with the song and add your own nuances to it.  Only the rhythm 
parts are included.

Tuning: Standard, 7 string.  Can easily be adjusted for Drop D.
