Song:   Forever Tonight
Band:   Pantera
Album:  I Am the Night
Year:   1985
Part:   Whole song


*I based this on the previous tab (actually copied and pasted)
and fixed the sections that were in error. Mostly good other than
a couple minor fixes*


For the intro, Darrell uses tap harmonics. Simply tap 12 frets above the notes given
and it should cause a harmonic effect. It takes practice if you've never done this.
