Okay, I have looked at some of the other peoples tablature for this song, and honestly I could
not believe how off they are, even though the authors seem so sure that they're right. Some
people say that the song is played in drop-D tuning with 2 guitars, and other people say that
it's not even detuned. Well, guess what THEY'RE ALL WRONG!! So without further ado, I will show
you how to play the song correctly, and you will sound almost identical to the Clint Lowery on
the Album.
Recommendation: I recommend that you use brand-new earnie-ball strings on an acoustic guitar.
It doesn't matter what type you use, but I prefer to use heavier strings.
Okay, Just to clear something up, to play the song you WILL have to detune your guitar. The song
is played in drop-D flat(b) ex.= Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb. To achieve this you must first detune your
whole guitar down half a step. Then drop the low E-string as you would normally do to put it in
drop-D. The high e string is not played throughtout the whole song so try to avoid hitting it.
And one more thing. From listening to the song, I have heard that the acoustic part is played
by only 1 person, though I guess it can be played by 2 but I'm not sure why anyone would want to.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official SEVENDUST tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
