TABBED BY: Klooa (Based off cdmoser's Tab)
COMMENTS Or questions to: Kurokitsume@gmail.com
Ok, so This was Tabbed By me an' a friend From cdmoser's tab of this. So Credit for the
stuff goes to him.
What we did was Tab this out to be played by a bassist and a drummer, getting all the
and clearer parts of the song that we could to make it an acceptable mash of the song.
So this for all the Bassists tired of playing rhythm!
You might need to tune up a bit though.
