Tabbed by: bAsS-pUnK, the one and only. reach me at neomaxim@home.com
Ok, I tabbed this song in my head while listening to it so much, and then I saw there
was like 10 requests for it, so HERE IT IS! Quite simple... The timing might not be right,
but if you listen to the song I'm sure you'll get it...
Not-so standard tuning, 1/2 step down drop C# (tune down 1/2 step, and
then drop the lowest 2 steps...)
0:00 - 0:19
No bass...
0:19 - 0:32
(This is the verse for the whole song, bass kicks in at 19 secs...)
