Comments:
The copy I have on my computer of this song is really bad quality,
so I'm not exactly sure on everything. Corrections will be appreciated.
Notes:
- the tuning for Guitar 1 is correct (Drop D, all down a half-step).
- Guitar 2 may be in normal tuning, which would make the second measure
of the chorus normal E-shaped barre chords on frets 8 and 10. The
only reason I think this may be true is that it's easier to play.
- the second chord in the verse may be another Gb.
- the intro riff is correct (the notes anyway), but both guitar lines vary
throughout the song: sometimes playing just chords, sometimes a
chord/riff mix, and sometimes the arpeggios are slightly different.
- CHORD NAMES ARE ACTUAL, NOT RELATIVE.
