Note: This should be all of it except for the fast leads. I included
times above the beginning of some parts that correspond to the time
on your CD player to help if you get lost. A '.' under a note signifies
the note is palm-muted. This first part was a struggle to even get close
I hope I got somewhat close. Oh yeah, the 6th string is tuned down really
low, the same tune as the 2nd string, but a few octaves lower (Bb I think).
The rest of the strings are standard tuning.
