A LIFE OF ILLUSION - Foo Fighters
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first attempt at tabbing so of course there are going to be mistakes.
I mostly wanted to make this tab for the horn lines and the solo, but I thought
I should just put everything here. I borrowed the intro and verses from another tab
