E|E|------------------------------

E|----------------------------------

E|---------------|| 

Tabbed by:The Baphomet


Tuning:EADGBE

This is my first tab, and before you
 see look at it you should know 
that, this is not
whole song. I left out a few scales 
and the guitaring in the background.
 The scales are
to figure out however, and the 
background guitar I am still trying 
to figure out. (With the effects and
 all)

I tabbed this out for 3 guitars. 
Guitar 2's part however, is short.

E|------------------------------------------------| Really, 

guitar 2 is playing, and most of it 
sounds very easy. I'll figure it out
 later. But this
what the piano is playing.

The rest just sounds like 
improvisation, so I won't bother 
tabbing it.
