Tabbed by Andy (yalaki) on 8/12/05.
This is only the second song I've tabbed (the first being The Rumour by Savatage).
This is a really cool song, and as far as I can tell the first Jaded Heart song to be tabbed and put online.
I hope it finds you well!
Incidently, only once I had tabbed most of it out did I discover it was a cover (showing off my ignorence).
As far as I can hear I have tabbed all guitar parts, including the two little scales
(and no, I can't play them... yet!)
Any questions, comments, critisisms, suggestions: [email protected]
Make a request and maybe in a few months it'll be done!
