ALBUM: Hours
GENRE: Emocore
YEAR: 2005
Right, here's Roses For The Dead all the way through, as I promised. As far as I can see
it's all pretty much perfect.. the intro and outro definitely are, and all the octave
chords. I'm not 100% sure on Kris' part of the pre-chorus, but what I've tabbed sounds
fine to me when I play along with it.
Enjoy!

(This riff is all two-handed tapping. Use your left hand for the 3's,
4's, 5's, 7's and 9's, and use your right hand for the 11's and 12's).

the 2nd and 3rd times through the riff).

Outro Riff Octave Chords (Darran):
(These octave chords are played during Kris's outro and the small
section before it, they're similar to the others, but they go
higher, right up to the 22nd fret. They might go to the 24th on
some runs through the chords, but this is the scale anyway).
