****NOTE:I DID NOT WRITE THESE TABS, I JUST THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE OF USE TO THE ARCHIVE*****
[Disclaimer: All basses and guitars tuned half-step down. All chords used
are power chords (e.g., C# is -x-4-6-6-x-x-) unless otherwise
indicated. These fan-authored transcriptions offer the basic
chords and structure of the songs, and are not complete scores.
Although some transcriptions may not have distinct parts for
each instrument, all are written for both bass and guitar.]
