Comments: There are 2 guitars in this song with a lot of effects, but I wrapped them together, because I’m the only guitarist in my band. And if you wanna have the 2 guitarparts, you can easily use this tab! De fat-marked words above the tabs sometimes give you an impression of what is played on wich chord… the well-known bend for example isn’t a Bb chord of course. In the chorus the guitarist plays along with the bass and the violins…source: tabsrus.nl
