Crows On A Wire tab by Alter Bridge

Guitar Tab

Tuning: Drop C (C G C F A D)

Hey folks,
This is my attempt to tab out the rhythm part of Crows on a Wire by Alter Bridge,
featured on their newest effort, "The Last Hero".
There may be some mistakes on the Intro and the Vers as I'm not totally sure about those.
No ambient sounds and no solo provided, sorry. My first full so I hope you like it.
