Dear God this has taken me ages to do, for such a simple main riff its a bugger to
hear on the cd. Anyways this is one of the best WASP songs of all time (top 3 being
be
Hellion and Sleeping in the fire in my opinion) and i cant believe noone has tabbed the
before.Having said that i bet its riddled with errors so please feel free to email me
corrections you have.
I reckon it sounds pretty good and gives us bassists something solid to follow when we
thrash out a trully classic W.A.S.P anthem.
