Hey...this song is a tough one to tab...kinda difficult.

I did the best I could...i think it sounds good though...

It is very awkward...i am including 2 versions...the one

in drop B tuning...and another in a tuning I prefer to use,

it?s and experimental tuning...to get the natural harmonic

to ring out...it sounds better this way trust me, so try it

out...cuz it?s kick ass...

there are minor variations throught...pleez rate it!...





a note in < > is a natural harmonic...if you don?t know

what that is, place your finger above that fret on the

string without pushing it on the fret...
