Higher Power - Boston
CD: Greatest Hits
Tuning: Standard
PM= palm mute   /=slide   x= scratch   ^= bend   h= hammer on   p= pull off

This song took a long time to tab because of all the variations in the riffs.
Some are played the exact same way only a half step down. All the parts are
here now, aside from the lead which is a bit hard to pick up. Wailing on the
power chords is the best part of Higher Power, so enjoy.
