Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Comments: I used some parts of Inverted's tab as a base for some of the parts in here. Most of the tab was off, but it gave you the idea of how the song goes. I just wanted to get a correct version out there. Keep in mind it's a lot easier to correct a tab with a lot of mistakes in it than it is to make your own tab with a lot of mistakes in it from scratch. Or something. Whatever. If you spot a mistake, and I doubt you will, point it out to me so I can fix it. Or something. Whatever. Later.
