(repeat final measure to fade)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
-The entire tab is based on the keyboard parts on the recording,
 transcribing them for guitar. Adding in techniques like palm muting and
 chord accenting (see Bridge) will make it sound better for guitar.
-4/4 time -- a few measures are in other time signatures (2/4), these are
 noted in the tab -- Dots (...) under a staff are for timing, indicating
 where the downbeats (1 2 3 4) fall
-Watch for repeat symbols

h...hammer on                      /...slide up
p...pull off                       \...slide down
o                                  ~...vibrato
o...repeat (repeat measures        ^...accent (located below staff)
    between repeat symbols)
