Hell Is For Children Tabs

(ver. 1)
Pat Benatar
This is my first tab. I am lead guitarist in Pat Benatar Tribute band and this
 is always my favorite tune.  I have been seeing incorrect tabs up here for
 years and decided to tab it out.  Listen to song for the timing.  This is the
 original tuning as the newer versions of their music dropped all the tunings a 
half step, probably to make it easier on Patty's voice. I'll tab more Benatar
material out as I get more free time.  Use these tabs as a guide for the feel
 of the song, as Neil Giraldo almost never does the same thing twice and does 
lots of embellishments.

Tuning: Standard
