HARAKIRI - SERJ TANKIAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This is my version of it, I combined the other tabs I found of it
and also put in some of my own things. This is how I play it,
there's some things I havn't included, for example there's some
notes being played in the background of "They crowned the sun..".
