Hi guys, this is my first tab I've posted so I hope it gets accepted. Some other guy has posted a guitar pro tab of this song which is correct as well. My version is simply way of playing it, but in standard tuning (with bass string dropped to B). So I would it if no one has a go at me for no apparent reason okay, its only a guitar tab guys. So yeah I hope this helps, took me about an hour to work it out. PLEASE NOTE: The solo is not tabbed here so no one have a go at me for that either, it my first tab remember.
