see them too...
this is the end,my only friend the end...
you can find me here kaikis@otenet.gr for anything you want
music make us brothers
right this tab looks really good, but one question for the verse would it be better to finger pick that? because i'm having trouble getting that up to speed at the moment
I'm pretty sure most of it is to be fingerpicked
the chorus is (at least in my version) very different from what you tabbed here. The rest of the song was good, but I can find that piece anywhere I want...
