Tablature Explanation at the end.
1st version: Finished 02/10/2002
Time signature: 4/4
Tuning: EADGBE
To make it easy to learn this song, download the midi file from my page.
It has a lot of tricky timings that can't be noticed in this tab.
x stands for dead notes. Play them with your right hand but mute
them with your left hand (You can rest your left hand over the strings)
M indicates to mute the bass note with your right hand (as in palm muting for
the electric guitar). This is a tricky thing to do in this song, if you want,
or if it's too hard, you can play it without doing it.

This is tricky. You must play only the bass note in the moment you hammer
on the first note. Practice it a few times to get it right.
