Tabbed by:BOBTHEWEAZEL

Tuning: Standard
Difficulty: Advanced-If Playing Arpeggios Note For Note
Intermediate-If Playing Chords Or Your Own Arpeggios
NOTE: Times Are Approximate.
NOTE: There Are A Lot Of 1/4 Bends, So If I Just Put 'b' (eg 5b), Just Bend
A Quarter Step. Otherwise, I'll Say Which Note To Bend To.
NOTE: I'm Gonna Tab The Arpeggios In The Intro Only As That Takes Too Damn
Long. After That, I'm Just Giving Chords. You Can See From The Intro The
Sort Of Stuff He Does.
