Band: Hell is for Heroes
Tabber: Rozzer
Tuning: Drop-D
This tab is the complete song (all riffs
etc.), and you may wish to play the verse
chords slightly differently, but I think
it works best as shown.
Awesome song by an awesome band, enjoy!

The two parts above are faint, the second bit
kind of overlaps the end of the first bit (you’ll
know when you hear the cd!)
Then, clearer part…

way, ’09’ means ‘9’, and ’00’ means ‘0’
— just trying to line it up with the eleven!)

(They use vabrato to sustain that
last 11 note)
(I’m aware there’s two guitar parts,
and in places the lead is simply a repeat
of the intro riff, and I haven’t always
indicated when this occurs.)
