Title : A Bid Farewell
Artist : Killswitch Engage
Album : The End of Heartache
Copyright (c): (Road Runner Records) (2004)
Version: 1.0
Date: 7/18/2004
Transcribed by : sumpm1
Tuning : C G C F A D (Drop C)

Release Notes:Some of these riffs will really give your hand a stretch.
Almost every Riff has 2 guitars at the same time. If you
see 2 staffs connected, or 3 staffs connected, that means
there is 3 guitars for that part. The top staff is Gtr 1,
next down is Gtr 2 etc.....

If you see more than one version tab of this song, consider
mine to be correct and the other to be crap. I wouldn't
have to tab songs that have already been tabbed if people
would submit complete and correct tabs. Now go tear it up.
================================================================================
