|| PLEASE NOTE:
||----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This tab was written up using the online version of the album which
is currently available at http://theblackparade.com. This is because
I don't actually currently own the album! So please bear in mind
that I tabbed this song using a media player that did not allow for
tracking forward or back!
