Seven hundred unicorn is waiting in the skies,
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies!

My first attempt to tab, well, ANYTHING. I like this thrash-like sound from the
godfathers of heavy metal, so I chose to tab it.

Frankly, however, I'm an idiot and am fully incapable of figuring out either the
acoustic bit or the solo. This should, however, be enough to amuse your friends.
