 Tuning: DADGBE
 
 Im tabbing this out how i usually play it.
 All the other tabs on this site are wrong imo.
 When i play this along to the album it sounds pretty much dead on but any comments
 and corrections would be welcome.
 
 Awesome Song btw!! UP THE BRUCE!!
 
 (Sorry if its a bit cramped. This is my only my 2nd tab so i'm not used to tabbing stuff out yet)
