****NOTE:I DID NOT WRITE THESE TABS, I JUST THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE OF USE TO THE ARCHIVE*****
[Disclaimer:  All basses and guitars tuned half-step down.  All chords used 
              are power chords (e.g., C# is -x-4-6-6-x-x-) unless otherwise
              indicated.  These fan-authored transcriptions offer the basic
              chords and structure of the songs, and are not complete scores.
              Although some transcriptions may not have distinct parts for 
              each instrument, all are written for both bass and guitar.]
