So the Gtr 2 (double drop c#) part is playing one of these chords, I'm not sure which.
They all work, so its just a matter of preference:
D|-2-| D|-0-| D|-0-|
B|-3-| B|-5-| B|-5-|
G|-2-| G|-6-| G|-7-|
D|-0-| D|-7-| D|-7-|
A|-0-| A|-0-| A|-0-|
D|---| D|---| D|---|
Chorus

B|-3-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-2---------------------10------------7-------------------------------|
D|-0---------------------10------------8-------------------------------|
A|-0---------------------8-------------5-------------------------------|
D|-0---------------------8-------------5-------------------------------|
I strum these chords as eighth notes, the first chord getting 2 measures, the others
getting one each. I'm not exactly sure what they're strumming pattern is, but I think they
strum eighth notes. Also, the first time this chorus comes around, there is a guitar
playing this: (picked as eighth notes)

That should be all. I spent days figuring this song out, as I am going to cover it. I am
99% sure everything's right, just a couple things don't sound 100% right. I slowed a
couple riffs down in an audio editor to get them as close as possible. I'll be covering
this soon, check my youtube page to see, http://www.youtube.com/americanmetalguitar, and you
can send me a message there if you have any suggestions for this tab, or corrections or whatever.
