I've been playin this song for a while now, but I noticed most of the tabs on here are slightly
wrong, nothing major, just little bits, so I thought I'd put up my own. The song is quite confusing
if you tab it with each riff writen out once, so I've decided to write it out fully so it's clearer. It
will mean it's much bigger, but I think it's worth it.
Enjoy, It's a kick-ass song!

****The tuning is actually down 1/2 a step but it sounds ok even if you dont do this****
