notes:
This is the first song iv had a go at tabbing, finally complete!.
This is all my own work, i doubt you'll see a Tab the same for this song anywhere else, though this version is pretty darn close :).
It can be abit hard to hear some of the guitar in this song but work at it and you'll get it.
if you can, alter the settings on your CD player so the guitar is more clear.


// = Tremlo Picking (Pick note's shown above the //'s rapidly!, and alternatly.)
x = Mute / Muffled strings (lightly rest fret hand on x'd strings and strum for a percussive sound)
