Tabbed By Jimmy Voelzke
Another guy tabbed this song out, and it was only about 90% correct, with some stuff
This version is right, I'm possitive. There are 2 Guitars playing in this song, not just 1!
Rocks! This song is quite difficult, it will take practice.

That's It. Have Fun!
You're missing the solo at the end. Yeah he overdubs, but only in the intro and outro. In the intro he mutes an acoustic over the electric. And the outro he plays the solo under the outro riffs. You missed where they crescendo into the bridge.
and this song isnt difficult, it took me 20 mins to learn
ADVANCED? WTF?
