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

Not perfect, I think the 2nd time through might be different, it might just be the drums

it sound like that!

Ok so it’s basically the whole song, I figured out the rest of the song while tabbing

The orchestra riff can also be used at the start if you want but the series of ‘9’ notes

tremolos, enjoy!

There’s an outro solo but ain’t figured out that yet XD

Any changes/updates/queries/etc. e-mail me at: lukeparny30@hotmail.com!

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
