Seen quite a few versions of this, yet none of them included the whole song. Decided it
was time for the whole song to be tabbed on here. I'm about 99% sure this is right.
Keep in mind A7X LOVES to over-complicate things, so i simplified a few things in here.
Tuning: DADGBE
Key: / = Slide up to.
\ = Slide down from.
* = Artificial Harmonic (squeelie)
p = pull of
h = hammer on
b = bend
~ = vibrato
x = muted
. = palm mute
T = tremelo picked

^This guitar plays these two parts throughout the entire acoustic bit. The strumming is
a little complicated to explain on tab, so just take the chords and listen to the song
to figure it out perfectly.

This too over 3 hours or to tab, but don't expect perfection. If you want the 100% way
then buy their tab book.
Hope you enjoyed
Thanks!
