Drop-A tuning:
(low to high) A-A-D-G-B-E

Make sure you have a really heavy E string, because you're dropping it down 7 frets!

Intro:
E|------------|
B|---12-///---|
G|------------|
D|------------|
A|------------|
A|------------|

Hammer on to the 12th fret while flicking the toggle switch on and off in a tremolo
picking sort of way, hammer on every beat. The slide represents the use of the Whammy
Pedal. Slowly depress the whammy bringing it up two octaves.

Verse: Same as Intro
