This will be my second full tab. My first one was Hypnotize ver.2
It was when I wasn't a member yet. Anyway here it is. Pretty simple.
It also has a good baseline played with an octave,
but this is the GUITAR tab. I'll put the baseline in the bass section.
Play in standard tuning, Medium distortion.
