----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: 1/2 a step down
This was tabbed totally by ear so if you think there's anything weird about
thoughts or suggestions. It's also my first tab so go easy on me :P. I've
also divided the song in parts so it would be easier to follow. Lemme know
what you think!
^ = bend
p = pull-off
h = hammer-on
s = slide
I also put the notes which you can kinda hear resonate in brackets "()".
Alright here's the intro I managed to pick up.
