how the @#$% difficult is it to google search the lyrics if your going to all the trouble of tabbing it out anyway? ..."give dirt to me, i bite lament"... and its probably WIDE not white, but who knows

I wish the chords were marked in blue so I could easily change the Key

Regardless of the missed lyrics, the tab itself is great. Sounds just like the original. 4 stars, but only because of the missing lyrics.
