This version of Miss Murder is absolutely correct, whereas all the others have the tuning incorrect and are either missing notes or appear vague. I have also included timings & lyrics. Any Questions just comment here within the comments, I will respond as quickly as possible. Best of luck and thank you for taking the time to examine this tab to learn from! Please comment and rate this tab, as I put careful and long work in creating it for you people. If you like my style of doing tablature, please follow suit as this way Internet tablature will be much easier to learn from or understand. Good Luck, I know you can do it!
