Comments: I got the main idea of the song from Dimebolt's version, but there were some missing parts and some others were wrong. He nailed the intro riff, though. Anyway, this version is much better. Keep in mind it's a lot easier to correct a tab with a lot of mistakes than it is to make your own tab with a lot of mistakes in it from scratch. That being said, e-mail me if you spot a mistake, and I doubt you will. Later, Demigods and Fallen Elders.
