I tabbed this cause I like this song. As simple as that. And I like tapping
and this song is basically 80% tapping so I decided I would give it a try.
I have included two guitars (one for the original part and one for the
Octave part). Good luck. And since there really isn't any Verse/Chorus
separation, I just separated the parts in Intro part A, Intro part B, Intro
part C, Verse 1, Interlude, Verse 2, Bridge, [Solo part A, Solo part B,
Solo part C, Solo part D], Verse 3, Outro. Once again, good luck guys. Oh
and this tab is 99% accurate gauranteed.
[The solo is complicated so I separated it for your convenience]
Oh and I don't think I did good on the lyrics, so don't count it against me.
NOTE:
* Tapping is just like holding down a fret with one hand (left)
and "Tapping" a higher fret on the same string with you other hand (right).
For example:
Fives are held with left, and higher frets are tapped by right

It is basicly fast hammer ons and pull offs. *
NOW let's get started!
Legend:
T | Tap note
h | Hammer on to
p | Pull off to
/ | Slide up to
\ | Slide down to
. | Palm mute
~ | Held note
b | Bend to
