I picked this song up a while back in winter and never got the time to put up a tab and
the other bass parts. Finally, I got this one created. This is such an awesome song with
amazing bass part. I suggest listening to the song while reading this tab (if you don't
so already) to get the exact strum patterns down. This tab may have a few minor
which I would like you to comment on if you find any. But, I feel like this is a very
and accurate tab. Have fun playing this! :D
