The Floodgates Open - Azriel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Fourstringpunk
Email: andrew_j_parkinson@hotmail.co.uk
Tuning: Drop D
I think it's about 90% correct, the chordy part of the chorus may be a little sketchy
If you have any comments or corrections, feel free to post them.
A great song by a great band. This is the first track from the "Burn the Illusionary
EP. They're releasing their first full length later this year on Thirty Days of Night Records.
