Title: The end is the beginning is the end
Release: The end is the beginning is the
End (Single)

Tuning: Eb (EbAbDbGbBbeb)
-------------------------------------------
A grungy, spooky song by the world´s best
Alternative Rockband. This is pretty close
to the original I think. I added Melissa´s
Bassparts when they´re important but not
all the parts the bass plays. If you find
it confusing or you have comments and corr-
ections send a mail to flooos@gmx.net.
All these riffs are heavy distorted or play
them with fuzz or just do some s**t, the
Band plays this song with different effects
every concert. But don´t distort the riffs
that have special writings like `clean´.
