NOTES : Well, i'm not too familiar writing tabs, but I'll give it a shot.
        There are no exact bars that measure time, but my advice is:
        Listen to the song and try to figure it out with the help from
        these tabs. If you have any q's, please e-mail them
        to me (dahaunted@hotmail.com)
