Tuning: D A D G B E
I couldn't find a tab for this song, so I set out to transpose the main parts into two guitars.
I have yet to figure out the whole of the solo, so for now I leave it open to interpretation and
improvisation.
(First public tab and all that, email me suggestions at obscurity.sane@gmail.com)
