This song just came out today, so I took it upon myself to ear transcribe it.
I had a lot of fun tabbing out this song. I hope you enjoy it.

Verse 3:
(Synyster) Play the opening riff 3 times.
On the third time, instead of ending it normally, you do this.

From there, just do the Chorus twice, and end halfway through the Pre Chorus, and that's all.
This is such a fun song to play. Hopefully, there aren't too many
mistakes, though I think the solo is about 75-90% accurate.
