Tuning: Standard
This 16:43 long song on this tab has been divided into 4 Parts To make it easier for
to find where you are. I added names of things I thought of when I listened and played
the section of the song. Within this song is some of the best, and craziest stuff.
tab took me a long time to do, so make the best of it! OH and the accuracy of when the
occur, because I must've got the leaked version. Good Luck and Enjoy.
*** Not Everything is Perfect, there are mistakes in here, however these are just
to give you a good idea of how the song goes.***
