version 2
TUNING: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb
SONG STUFF TO NOTE:
-During the chorus and prechorus, the guitarist
messes around a bit with the chords he's playing,
while generally keeping the left hand same position. This
part is too hard to hear and tab accurately, so I
just thought you should know.
-I tried to time all the lyrics to where the notes
start, but they don't actually end with the notes
that are played with them. This is because the
lyrics are either too long or two short, but it still
gives you a guide on where things are.
STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW FOR THIS TAB:
H= Hammer on
P= Pull off
( )= Note I'm not positive is there but sounds fine
~~~= let note ring
x= Mute/don't play note
