The Afterman: Descension Tabbed By : fender4string Listen carefully to the song for timing. The fills are accurate but their timing isn't very well represented though I tried my best for relative note by note spacing. Have fun with this one!

**()** Parentheses are added here because, strangely, the bass fades out of the mix for the last part of the guitar/bass/vocal harmony. The last 2 notes (E and B) aren't audible for the bass. I added them as that's what corresponds with the guitar line.
