         Title : Breathe Life
        Artist : Killswitch Engage
         Album : The End of Heartache
  Copyright (c): (Road Runner Records) (2004)
        Version: 1.0
           Date: 8/13/2004
Transcribed by : sumpm1 <slickbitch1@yahoo.com>
        Tuning : C G C F A D (Drop C)

  Release Notes: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..... Listen to song for exact
                timings. The Song Structure can be found at the bottom
                of the page.

                Some of the notes that are denoted hammer-on or pull-off
                are really slides. It just made it easer to write the tab
                that way. Use your good judgement as to which notes I
                refer to.

                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.
