The solo is a bitch to tab- there are LOTS of complex bits which I can't possibly include.. I've tried!!! for example, if you see ta/
above a note, this means trem bar 1/2 note upwards... or / \
the first is when the note is bent up, the second is back down...
YouUll HAVE to listen CAREFULLY to the Disc.

Additional Lyrics:
2. A maze of tangles grace
The symptoms of 'for real' are
Crumbling from embrace, but still we chase
The shadows of belief and new religion clouds our
Visions of the roots of our souls.
Are we ashamed of our own fate?
Or play the fool for our own sake.
Tell me who's behind the rain.
That wasn't too bad! But don't anybody dare ask me to tab Psycho Love.
