Tuning: Standard
This song has kinda difficult bends if you do it the right way.
There is an easier way tabbed with hammer ons and stuff,
and while I haven't tried it, its gotten good feedback.
Make sure you read what I write, it may seem like a lot
but I play the song perfectly, and this is it. The notes explain
exactly how to play the part, as I don't know the symbols
used here very well.
First, the chords for the verses.
