And thats it!! Sorry that it is so confusing. If u have the song its easier to follow. Just
Follow my labels and i think you should be ok.
-Jeremy Coles
(P.S. I noticed in one of the other tabs that came straight from the book showed that the intro
didnt go down again before going up. This is probably correct because it might just be the bass
guitar that goes back down. but if u are just playing the song alone then it sounds better this way.)
Hope u find this useful. Give me some comments cuz like i said this is my first one.
