guitar tabs lyrics

Killswitch Engage

Before i get to the tabbing i just want to say that this is my first tab ever to be
on any website. This is what i have heard by ear so if any one thinks something is missing
wrong please do so in a respectful manner. i welcome all corrections or comments but if
start talking smack about my tab then i want to see your better version of this, which
probably wont have. one more thing PLZZZZ do not give me 5 stars if i dont deserve it.
its one thing that i hate its ppl who give songs 5 stars either bcuz they dont want to
feelings, etc. I cant tell you how frustrating it is to look up songs that have
5 stars and ur so excited only to b dissapointed to find like 3 0r 5 major errors in the song.
enough chitter chatter lets get on with the tab shall we? =]

!(Note that this section is only played once in the whole song which is here. the only
is the last 3 notes but if u play it like this during the other parts of the song it is
incorrect, and 2. doesnt sound right.)
