guitar tabs lyrics
I used the live version from this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWKijFN6hO8&feature=related)
video to tab it out. So it might sound a bit different than the studio version.
Oh and lots of credit to patch17 for several parts of this. He really nailed most of it.
Any problems or suggestions, just comment.
Guitar 1 - Kele
