Hey everyone, this is my tab for this awesome Candlemass song. It sounds pretty
close to me, except for one riff in the middle which I'm not absolutely sure
about (which is "riff 7" in the tab; you'll see it when you get there.) Aside
from that little part, I'm pretty confident that this is all right. I also didn't
tab the solo, so... yeah. Sorry about that. Hopefully this tab is good enough to
get you guys started though, and I hope that it proves to be useful. If you guys
have any comments, questions, or corrections to address, please don't hesitate to
leave a comment, or send me an email! :D
