Begging For Mercy Chords & Tabs
Another amazing song off of their new album, "Fever". This is on the borderline of advanced but I left it at intermediate.
The solo tab that's on the site was actually very accurate, but there were a few notes missing and the tapping part was off a little. But otherwise kudos to the dude who posted it, scarily accurate for by ear =]. It helped me a lot!
