Tuning: EADGBe and CADGBe

Song: Autumn of Mankind
Artist: Steve Jablonsky
Album: Gears of War 2

Tabbed by Austin (A Dead Fly)

I transcribed this song for guitar with one lead guitar,
two rythym guitars, and the strings.  However, you only 
play one rythym guitar, one is the actual song version
and has it's low E drop tuned to C, while the other is
standard tuned in case you don't feel like drop tuning your
guitar. There is only one note in the song that goes below 
standard tuning on guitar, but the fingering changes for whichever
rythym guitar you use.
