Hello.... I took about 2 hours and improved the chords to this song. Everything is
more thorough, and all the chord changed are exact, I just finished listening to the song.
this helps a little better.
Credit to Yoshima for tabbing the original version of this, with some of his
still intact.
Happy jamming =) -LM
