[Disclaimer:  All basses and guitars tuned as noted.  All chords used are
              power chords (e.g., C# is -x-4-6-6-x-x-) unless otherwise
              indicated.  These fan-authored transcriptions offer the basic
              chords and structure of the songs, and are not complete scores.
              Although some transcriptions may not have distinct parts for
              each instrument, all are written for both bass and guitar.]

[Notes:       For songs tuned two steps down (low to high, C F Bb Eb G C),
              the notes/chords will sound two steps lower than notated.  For
              example, a chord marked "A" will actually sound like a "F".]
