Lack of accuracy. Clearly wrong. This is not a Drop D song. Just to prove it wrong, I've played this song as the tab specifies, and it doesn't sound anything like the actual song.

Towards then end I toyed around and found this part was incorrect on the last two notes:e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|D|9-999999---------9-999999-----------7-777777---------7-777777---------x4-|A|9-999999---------9-999999-----------7-777777---------7-777777------------|E|9-999999-9-11-12-9-999999-9-11-12---7-777777-9-11-12-7-777777-9--12ph----|and instead it should be like this:e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|D|9-999999---------9-999999-----------7-777777---------7-777777---------x4-|A|9-999999---------9-999999-----------7-777777---------7-777777------------|E|9-999999-9-11-12-9-999999-9-11-12---7-777777-9-11-12-7-777777-12-11------|
