Tabbed By: shazcoop@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard

Key: h = hammer on
p = pull off
/ = slide up
\\ = slide down

***BOTH GUITARS FULLY TABBED***

Great song, haven't seen or heard the song live so this was tabbed purely by ear listening
to the CD track only but i saw the other uncomplete tabs, so i thought I'd give it a shot with a
complete one. All parts in distortion unless stated otherwise. I know the intro isn't distortion e.t.c... Enjoy...
