This is the way my band plays the song.  I don't know about any of the 2nd guitar parts,
my band has only one guitar player.  This tab should be 100% correct.  One note is to
to figure out exactly where to do the pinch harmonics.

Nah he didn't Jesse Leach originally sang it. Which in my opinion is better than Howard's version. He sounds to "Operatic" I guess.
