Ok, the reason i am submitting another frantic tab is because nobody has submitted an
accurate one at all. Watch the videos and you will find that this tab is correct.
First of all, note that the two guitars play everything seperated. In this tab, James'
part is guitar one, and Kirk's part is guitar two. Also please note that all guitars
should be tuned like this:DAFCGC
