Alter Bridge
Song: Buried Alive
CD: Blackbird
Year: 2007
Tune: Drop C# (Db)
(Taken from the guitar pro file, I take no credit for this.
There are two guitars in this song, the second mainly following
the first other than in the intro and part of the bridge. I
tried my best to keep this tab in order and easily to follow
Updated Oct 17th to fix intro and a few other riffs)
