Standard Tuning EADGBe
I was surprised nobody tabbed out this incredible song. The chords are relatively simple,
I included the intro riff at the beginning and I included the keyboard riff for the chorus
at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
Intro:
e|-2--2-3--5-5-3-2--2--2-3-5-5-3-2----2--2-3--5-5-3-2--2--2-5-5-3--|
