I was frustrated with the quality of tabs for this song that I found. All were pretty close but not quite
correct. I listened to the song and had trouble figuring out the progression since Aaron Lewis plays in
Eb tuning. I found a version of him playing the song live on YouTube and used it to make this tab.
