okay for the most part this tab is correct except for the chorus
that parts skrewy. The Lead isnt exactly right you have to hit
the notes a few extra times to make it sound right

Chorus
You probably wont be able to play this exactly how it sounds. I used the voice canceller on Sonicstage to help me on this part.
This bassically wuts played but with a few extra strums listen very carefully and if you have touse the voice canceller on Soncicstage for windows xp.
(*dont play the high e or b strings in chorus*)
