-THE LIVING END-

Hellbound

Tabbed By Mick Fryar

manumick20@yahoo.com

Alright Ive done this transcription up abit becuase I thought

I had ignored it enough (2 years now and I noticed that someone else

did up their Hellbound tab so I thought yeah I better do mine aswell

except the other persons tab claims to be better than mine but I think

this one is now better than both becuase Ive gone back to this tab and

included the fills and more of the solo).
