         Title : A Bid Farewell
        Artist : Killswitch Engage
         Album : The End of Heartache
  Copyright (c): (Road Runner Records) (2004)
        Version: 1.0
           Date: 7/18/2004
Transcribed by : sumpm1 <slickbitch1@yahoo.com>
        Tuning : C G C F A D (Drop C)

  Release Notes:Some of these riffs will really give your hand a stretch.
                Almost every Riff has 2 guitars at the same time. If you
                see 2 staffs connected, or 3 staffs connected, that means
                there is 3 guitars for that part. The top staff is Gtr 1,
                next down is Gtr 2 etc.....

                If you see more than one version tab of this song, consider
                mine to be correct and the other to be crap. I wouldn't
                have to tab songs that have already been tabbed if people
                would submit complete and correct tabs. Now go tear it up.
