IMPORTANT!! READ THIS FIRST!!


   There are a few tabs for this song already in existence, but 


unfortunately most of them are inaccurate. I?ve noticed that several


of them make the mistake of tabbing out what is actually a keyboard, 


which is played in a higher octave than the guitar part. The guitar 


plays basically the same riffs but in a lower octave, which, combined


with the keyboard, gives the song its overall sound. I?ve worked out 


what I believe to be the most complete and accurate tab for this song


that exists to date. I?ve incorporated both the guitar and keyboard 


parts for those of you who want to try playing it using two guitars. 


   The lines of tab for ?Guitar I? are the normal guitar parts, played


on an acoustic. The tab for ?Guitar II? is a guitar arrangement of 


what the keyboard plays - notice how during the main riff it is 


basically doubling the guitar riff but at a higher octave. And finally


the chords listed below each line of tab represent the overall 


tonality of the song created by the synthesizer in the background.








** GUITAR I = Acoustic Guitar **


** GUITAR II = Keyboard arranged for guitar **
