Tempo: 128 BPM (approx.)
Tuning: Drop C (C G C F)

Info:
-----
Please note that the bass doesn't only copy the guitar.
Specially in the "Bridge B" part you can hear, that it is not played like the guitar.
Look under "about Criss" and then "Gear", scroll down to the bottom and then you will see the truth.
