Legend
------
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
^ = bend (number of semi-tones above)
/ = slide up/down
~ = vibrato
w = with whammy bar (number of semi-tones above)
<> = Natural harmonic
Note: Most of this song's transcription is based on the midi by Mark Degarmo Chung.
As a result many parts may be played differently or in different positions.
I have just put it into tablature and in the way I play it. This tab is not
perfect. The solos and acoustic parts are pretty damn close but some verse
parts may be a bit off. Enjoy.
