Real A Lie - Melissa Auf Der Maur
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Song: Real A Lie
Artist: Melissa Auf Der Maur
This is a rough, rough transcript of Real A Lie by Melissa Auf Der Maur. Since her
album's not even out yet in North America, I haven't been able to make an accurate tab.
I don't think there really are 4 guitars, but when breaking it down, I found there to be
four overlapping guitar parts in the intro alone.
