Notes : It is highly unlikely that this tab can be considered as
definitive in terms of how the song is actually played. I
think I've nailed pretty much all the riffs but the outro
still bothers me somewhat - it's just too simplistic for
Nile! I'm sure there is something else going on but I'm
fucked if I can decipher it correctly.
Also, if you want the harmonies you can work them out your
damn self! I've done the hard work so it's the least you
can do!
