Tuning: c C G# D# A# E
I'm 90% sure that this is the correct tab although the amount of
times you play each chord/note might be wrong as I haven't got
the song I tabbed it from memory. Sorry if it's wrong but this is my first tab.
P.S. This song rocks.
Intro:
On intro play all on the upstroke and don't let notes ring.
