++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - NOTES - ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is an easy to play but beautiful moving song. If you can't play the fast
hammer-ons/pull-offs just go with the chords, it still sounds great!
Stone Sour usually play half step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) tuned guitars.
This is a transcription to standard tuning.
Theres lots of half accurate tabs for this song already but I wasn't satisfied
so I had to put up my acoustic version.
I did not add any solo, the original solo is just some D# minor pentatonic
stuff. Be creative ;)
Just listen to the song for the strumming/chord voicing.
