------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: David Benítez E-mail: [email protected] Most of this is right, maybe I got some extra or less octaves than needed in some places, be sure to write any comments or suggestions, and don't forget to rate, good luck!
I recommend using your fingers for (most of) this song, it'll help you get that mellow 
sound down

This next riff is the reason I decided to tab the song, it may be a keyboard but the tab 
would not be complete 
without this! This is the bridge and the rhythm for the solos. Hope this makes up for 
the lack of second solo.

Aaaand good luck with the second solo, if I ever see it worthy to slow the song up to -999% I'll try and tab it
