Hi guys!
This is my first tab. Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold! :)
I've been using UG ever since I started playing guitar 5 years ago so
I though I could give something back.
Hope it helps! :)

Intro: Clean guitar
The intro plays twice before the verse starts. Both times with a dfferent ending.

Chorus: Clean guitar
G D Em
Dear God, the only thing I
Bm C
ask of you is to hold her when I'm
G D
not aorund, when I'm much too far away.
G D Em
We all need that person who can
Bm C
be true to you. But I left her when I
G D
found her and now I'd wish stayed.

That's it! There's a lot more than only this but I think this is the most important.
One can play the whole song with only one guitar except for "Bridge Part 1".
