Tabbed by: AudaciousMoose

Tuning: C F Bb Eb G C (You can play this tab in E A D G B E if you want)
This is my first tab...but it should be dead on. I tried to position the lyrics so that
the notes and the lyrics come in the order they come in in the song. This is an awesome
riff. The lead guitar looks difficult, but it is fairly easy.
