Rise Tab

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             RISE by Pantera
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Macejko
 
None of the tabs out there for this song are 100 % correct so I decided to give
it a go. IMPORTANT: Dime used to down-tune his guitar 1/4 step down on most of
Pantera songs, so either do that or adjust the pitch of the song in some audio
software (Audacity, Reaper...)
 
Tuning: 1/4 step down
