Just a moment to pray

Outro
To get this sound is kinda tricky but 
here is what I did and found out works best

Whammy On Same Setting 27
Pedal Fully Pressed forward
^ = Bend 1/2 Step Up
TRICKY PART
After you bend up as you are
letting the bend back down
do it slowly while you are doing this
rock the pedal back slowly.
() = Ghost Notes


e-------------
B-------------
G------12^-(12) (dont play the second 12's)
D------12^-(12) (you will get them from the whammy)
A-------------  (if you dont understand just play it)
E-------------
