Hello all MDB fans! I wanted to make a contribution to The 's Metal

Community and i figured a tab would do the trick. This is my favorite MDB

tune and when i decided to learn it i was shocked and appalled by the only

"For You" tab available. It's horrendous!! This tab is much better and

it's complete. It's also the first song i've ever tabbed out so i hope i

didn't mess anything up. I won't bother with tabbing out palm muting when

it's

a simple song like this, you should easily be able to hear it for yourself.

If you have anything you would like to say to me, feel free to email me at

DBYHTG@hotmail.com Thanks!

As far as this riff goes, i slide from note to note because i think

it sounds better and fits the tone of the song. Im not sure if that

is how it is actually played. I leave the decision up to you...
