Amazing song, lots of overlaying guitars, all John 5.

Song leads in with that lyrical bit with:
"This is a journey backed by fear, guilt and anxiety"
I'm a little lazy so basically heres everything you
need to read my tab:
Most of the time on 2nd runs through riff and chorus
you just need to switch to the next thing I have tabbed
so for the main riff you just switch from the 6-5-9~
into the 6-5-3. Easy? I hope so...
~ = Vibrato
^ = Bend
< = Slide down

Main riff is played over the lyrics:
"Body of a monkey and the feet of a cock,
Dragged from her home on the killing rock,
Black dog dying on the weather vane,
The devil's in a cat and the baby's brain."
The Chorus section has 3 different guitar overlays,
I have all of them tabbed out, and I added a riff that
you can play as a single guitarist that sounds good
over it.
