Swans Life After Death

Swans (Life After Death)

intro: this can be played multiple 
ways and it sounds alright, but this
 is the way that
find sounds the best and is most 
convenient. some of the notes are 
played softer than
and listen to the song for 
timing(its fairly straight-forward).
 ive put larger spaces
the timing skips a beat.
