Song: In The Shadows
Band: The Rasmus
Album: Dead Letters
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Tabbed by Andrew

These guys are an awesome band, check them out!  They have one guitarist, but there 
are several guitar parts in this song and they're all tabbed here. I've put two guitars in, with the 
2nd guitar alternating between doing what could be synth, and some distorted guitar 
bits.  1st guitar is usually on top, 2nd just below.  Listen to the song, and 
figure it out!  
Please rate this tab, and be fair.  :)  Rock on!

Edit:  Made some changes to the verse chords - now just single notes.  Thanks to 
Steven Alldis (Jetzt) for that.  Also, made major changes to the main riff.  Instead of using powerchords,
it's just heavily distorted single notes.  It took a look at several videos of live performances to
convince me, but it is how it's played.  Powerchords sound better on an acoustic though. 

* = palm mute
\= slide down
~ = tremelo picking
(#) = Harmonic on that fret eg. (7) would be 7th fret harmonic.
x = left-hand mute

Intro - Clean 1st Guitar, 2nd Guitar with some effect or maybe synth.

     Starts with..   (2nd Guitar)
