Killswitch Engage - My Last Serenade

My Last Serenade

Band: Killswitch Engage
Song: My Last Serenade
Tabbed by: Sam (oofafoo@yahoo.co.uk)

There aren’t many tabs on the net for this song, so here it is how I play it. The only part I am not 100% sure of is the chorus, but I think I’m pretty close. I haven’t tabbed in the correct timing, as it should be obvious what speed you play it when you listen to the CD.

Tuning is C G C F A D
