This is an acoustic version of Sadist by Stone Sour. There are some passages where you will need to listen to
the song in order to get the rhythm, but that shouldn't be too hard. Also this is my first tab, so some things
might not be correct.
The power chords used in the Verses can be substituted for minor chords, depending on your voice, and if you
want to sing it heavier or softer.
