OK, this tab is pretty much 150% correct cause ive been playing it for a few years now
know how it goes. Have fun playing this song cause it rocks and I hope these tabs help
play it right. (I've heard it played incorrectly soo many times)
I split up guitar 1 and guitar 2's parts, so its easier for each to read and print...
line up perfectly (ive listened to the song and read them at the same time for both)
