The tabs that were already posted weren't correct
so i guess i had to tab it out myself..come on people..
its not that hard...i did this all by ear so don't
accuse me of stealing..and don't lecture me on chords cuz
i would have no idea what u are talking about..thats why i
tabbed it out..TUNE YOUR GUITAR before u give me a
bad rating or accuse me of a sucky tab..i put a lot
of work into it...thanks and enjoy
 
If u want to play the intro tune your guitar to Eb A D G B E
