hey dude, (alreadygone)its pretty easy to see that i didnt tab this myself i just thought i would be a good person and write down a tab on ultimate-guitar. this took me a while to put down and its nice to see the 5 stars because it is all fully correct i just dont need your sh*t on the comments calling me a "A$$!" this is really imature and i think you need to accept things (especially good things)and not be a biotch about it alright hope you all have a good thanks giving.

How, in any way, shape, or form, (dan the pie) does tabbing a song from a book mean that one put's their grandpa's penis in their mouth? That is honestly the stupidest thing I have ever heard. What are you, twelve? That is just rediculous, grow up. Great job SoundIncursion. If I met you in person, I would put my pecker in your mouth.
