I tabbed this cause I like this song. As simple as that. And I like tapping
and this song is basically 80% tapping so I decided I would give it a try.
I have included two guitars (one for the original part and one for the
Octave part). Good luck. And since there really isn't any Verse/Chorus
separation, I just separated the parts in Intro part A, Intro part B, Intro
part C, Verse 1, Interlude, Verse 2, Bridge, (Solo part A, Solo part B,
Solo part C, Solo part D), Verse 3, Outro. Once again, good luck guys. Oh
and this tab is 99% accurate gauranteed.
(The solo is complicated so I separated it for your convenience)
Oh and I don't think I did good on the lyrics, so don't count it against me.
NOTE:
* Tapping is just like holding down a fret with one hand (left)
and "Tapping" a higher fret on the same string with you other hand (right).
For example:
Fives are held with left, and higher frets are tapped by right

It is basicly fast hammer ons and pull offs. *
NOW let's get started!
Legend:

h | Hammer on to
p | Pull off to

b | Bend to
