A idéia dessa versão é simplificar a música em acordes básicos, pra poder tocar e cantar sem precisar mandar perfeitamente todos os riffs e licks da música original.
Essa letra e cifra foi embasada na versão da música em voz e violão pelo Zakk Wylde. Para maiores detalhes, ver vídeo: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=gOv0a119E4o
A letra também foi adaptada, dentro do possível, para essa versão, já que ele insere algumas palavras diferentes e some com outras.
