Thank you to Nick J. for e-mailing me with a correction to the chorus.
Rock on, man.   \m/ (O.O) \m/  While I was listening to the chorus again
to hear the correction for myself, I actually noticed a couple other
small changes that had to be made, too.

Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions/criticisms/additions.
I'll give credit to those who point out mistakes or share thoughts
or ideas.

This really isn't a difficult song to play.  The picking on the
first guitar part (during the parts where he plays an octave interval)
was really hard to hear, though.  At some points it sounds like he's
just sustaining the notes, at others it sounds like 16th notes,
and at even other times it sounds like flat out tremolo picking.

******************************************************************
Also, during the chorus, if I listen really closely, I think
I can hear some faint notes being played on the high-E string...
I included them in the tab as ghost (optional) notes.  If someone
else can hear them too, let me know...

The *only* reason I included them is because someone else 
******************************************************************

Another thing:  at ~2:10 into the song, at the end of the bridge,
he does kind of a Steve Vai style dive (like a horse whinnying).
That's what I mean by "horsie dive."

Included lyrics for the hell of it.  They're kinda lined up
with the guitar part...sorta.  Enjoy.

Oh, and this song was transcribed completely by ear yadda yadda.
I don't think there's even a tab book for this album out there yet.

<3 you Nikki.  Thanks for getting into this music.  You rock, babe :)
