It might make it more difficult to understand but it's all<br/> there if you want it. At the top of each section of tab is the chord for the<br/> bar (bar lines included). I haven't included note lengths or rests. You'll have<br/> to listen to the actual song and work them out for yourself. The bar lines<br/> should give you an idea towards timing. The song's in 4/4 time, 116 bpm.<br/> <br/> <br/> All tab markings are at the top of the tab. Markings used:<br/> P - pull off.<br/> H - hammer on.<br/> T - tap - fret at note shown, tap at note in brackets.<br/> .---. - sustained note. <br/> sl - slide.<br/> vibrato - vibrate string. (or use tremolo).<br/> )\ - bend and release<br/> / \<br/> ) - string bend (usually full - f)<br/> / <br/> // - repeat previous beat (used for 1/16 notes)<br/> '/, - repeat previous measure (bar)<br/> x - rake - drag pick across strings shown from low to high<br/> <br/> <br/> Bm(flat 6) Bm/A Bm(flat 6) A/C#<br/> <br/> Rhy.
