killing me too
The ending of the song is the break, with a nice little C to G transition to close off the line.
The words and the riffs don't line up precisely; be familiar with the song so you can line things up.
This is the first tab I have ever made, so I hope it works well!
Any criticism or advice is welcome.
I used audio from the official album version of the song, as well as audio/video input from
a "One Song, One Take" video, found here https://youtu.be/-vdsz6M1qRo
This is not meant to be a perfect translation of their song, just a more advanced
version of the tab I had already found.
Thanks to jericho 671 for the original tab. I used his work as a frame to go off of.
