Hell is for heroes - Slow Song

Original Tab by Michael Sands
Retabbed by Michael Beattie

Michael (Sands) did a good job of the chords, but there was still quite a lot mising from the song.
So here's the rest.

********************

That's about it. Both the clean and distorted parts are almost identical
chord-wise, just with a little addition of single-string lead parts.

Once you've played each part, it should be incredibly easy to figure out
how to strum them, when to play them, etc.

Regarding the chords - you may want to play the chords in different octaves
(eg, power chords elsewhere on the neck rather than barre[power] chords)
but these are esentially the right chords. If you're wanting to play this live
you should figure out where else you can play these chords.

Thanks goes to Michael Sands for tabbing the correct Intro chords, without them I
probably wouldn't have bothered tabbing the song at all. :)
