i know it is kind of messy looking but its a pretty complicated song
but this is my first tab for one of the best game-themes i have ever
heard any corrections or comments send to Sk8erGuitarist7@aol.com
(I made this cause no one else has posted a tab for it yet as far as i know)
Comments
Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
