Hey everyone, this is my tab for this song, and for the most part I think it
sounds pretty decent. The only part i'm not 100% sure about is all of the
"riff 3" stuff (you'll see it when you get down there.) Some of the notes the
guitar plays there are really quiet and hard to hear, but I think the way I
have it tabbed is at least fairly close to how they play it in the song.
Anyway, I hope you guys find this tab to be helpful! If you have any comments,
questions, or corrections to point out, please feel free to leave a message
here, or to send me an email! :D
