-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Luka

Tuning: Standard


I generally tabbed only the interesting and most hearable bits (without the chords and rhythm guitar)
but I guess that's most of it. If you have a correction or request for a part not contained herein,
do leave a comment. With that said, let's get straight to the biscuits:
