'The Damage Done' by Alter Bridge
written by Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy
Bonus track for the album 'Blackbird' (sold at Best Buy)
tuning: Guitar 1 - Eb tuning, but drop sixth string to Bb
        Guitar 2 - sixth string is Ab (for the bridge)
Tabbed by jjhand

The intro & Verse is for one guitar and the solo part is fast, but I think I
tabbed it well. Note the tunings:
