Nickleback - Never again
Tuning: Drop D
Tempo: aprox 80-90 bpm
Tabed by: Nick, norconick@hotmail.com
Other tabs I see for this song aren't quite right or they're missing
stuff I think. I've also included the rhythem timing which will come in
handy if you're learning it with a band, since it's sort of irregular
compared to the average rock song you might learn. Theres some sticatos
and rests i didn't mension, but if you listen to the song they're quite obvious.
