Guitar Tab

Parallels - As I Lay Dying

-This is my first tab I've ever written, I hope it doesn't suck.
-I know this song is normally in D standard with the 4th string left untouched but I
it this way because I don't feel like tuning my guitar that way :p
-Most of this I have gotten off of the internet so I don't want to take much credit for
but i changed some things to suit my playing style and to make it a little easier.
-I'm not putting in palm mutes... you should be able to figure that out.
