----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tabbed by: kiefermatot


Tuning: Drop-D


I'm still working on the little solo at the end. I just wanted to get this up for
as soon as I could, since there are no other versions.

If you have any questions or corrections leave a comment. Thank you!
