I had a lot of fun tabbing out this song. I hope you enjoy it.

[Verse 3]
 
  (Synyster) Play the opening riff 3 times.
  On the third time, instead of ending it normally, you do this.
D#|-17-0----17-0----17-0----17-0----17-0-------17-0----17-0----15-0----15-0----14-0-------|

From there, just do the Chorus twice, and end halfway through the Pre Chorus, and that's all.
 
This is such a fun song to play. Hopefully, there aren't too many
mistakes, though I think the solo is about 75-90% accurate.
