Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
How Long It Took Me To Master: Roughly 2 hours

This I have created this tab on my own free time, this is the CORRECT way to play this
and trust me, it will take a while to learn correctly so be patient.. its awesome to play
you get it right. So please be patient, this tab is the correct way to play this song 
believe me, its not easy if your playing it by yourself..

My advice would be to play the tab while listening to the song, and listen closely
I included everything, even the faintest guitar sounds.. so listen closely..

Again, this tab is not easy, so if your looking for an easy way to learn this song
then look elsewhere, because there is no easy way to play this song, unless its incorrect..
take plenty of practice and actually listening to the real song.
