Comments:  I just got finished with Beyond the Black like 2 minutes before I started this, 
and I think I finished every Metal Church song I care to tab for now.  One thing I can definitely 
say to any rookie tabbers out there is to definitely keep tabbing, because you get better 
and better the more you do it.  Do you need proof?  I'll give you a copy of the first tab I did 
and any one of the tabs I made this month.  Then you'll see.  Anyway, this song rules, and 
this tab came out fabulous IMO, and if you spot a mistake, be Gallant, not Goofus, and 
point it out to me or send me the correction.  Later.
