------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: AwesomePiers E-mail: [email protected] Sad lack of tabs for this really nice piece of guitar. Nothing too complicated here, but may be worth listening closely to the track to match it up as some of the guitar is quite subtle. I doubt this is exactly note perfect but I've tried to make it as close to the original as I can purely by ear. Feel free to offer suggestions and corrections! May also tab Nara and possibly a couple of other songs from the new album soon too. Enjoy! -----SECTION 1----- (Instrumental Intro)
