To start with I would like the reader to acknowledge:
1. THESE TABS ARE MY WORK! ALTHOUGH THEY MAY BE SIMILAR TO TABS ALREADY UP (I DON'T KNOW
I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT ANY)
I TABBED THEM MYSELF AND PLEASE RESPECT THAT. DO NOT ASK FOR CREDIT COS YOUR TAB IS SIMILAR.
2. NOT ALL THE FILLS WILL BE 100% CORRECT. I HOPE THAT MOST OF THEM ARE, BUT DON'T RATE
BADLY COS ONE FILL ON A PARTICULAR SONG IS WRONG.

Repeat the first verse. There are minute differences in the fills that you shouldn't
worry about. It sounds better if you use the original fills anyway.

4. Over and Out STANDARD TUNING
It's important to let the notes ring in the arpeggio parts of this song
(I'm sorry but I looked at another tab for this... and it's JUST WRONG. No other way
it. My tab is better.)
