=============================================================================

This is one hell of a tab do write out all as one so I've divided it into
two sections:
(1) - Lead
(2) - Rhythm

You will find all the lead tabbed first and then the chords with lyrics
below.

GUITAR TUNINGS:

LEAD - Standard (E A D G B e)
RHYTHM - Tune to (E A B G B Eb)

=============================================================================

INTRO: Note that there are two lead guitars playing simultaneously here

Comments on this version of the 'Shiver' guitar tabComments on this version of the 'Shiver' guitar tab

lphockey11lphockey11 Unknown Date
this is an amzing tab, and i'm not that great at guitar so i may be wrong, but for the 3rd time you play chorus 3, instead of





G--9---/11\8~~~--|





shouldn't it be





B-10---/12\9~~~--|


G--9---/11\8~~~--|





let me know if i'm wrong, it may just be the distortion they use...
