KEEP MUSIC EVIL.
Fantastic tab :) Might have spotted a slight mistake on the very first riff. At the end of the riff should it not be 12 on D then 12, 10 on G then ending on 12? Also I would just play D C G for the main bit but then agian Im just playing acoustic with no accompaniment. Peace!
Nah, man, if you go along with the 4 and a half minute version he has got right, And when they do the strumming for the chorus in any live videos ive seen they do it this way. This is a great tab!
The solo (the now eponymous solo, because of boardwalk empire) it completely wrong... how can anyone vote this 5 stars are you all mad?1?!?
