This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Most of this song is right...or at least it sounds right. I don't know, screw

around with it until you think it sounds right. I put the chords above cause it

looks really confusing in tab form.

Key:

* - play multiple times

pm - palm mute

x - don't play this string

~ - let ring

& - pickslide

Intro:

HOLY CRAP! That took a long time...maybe i should invest in a tab editor...

Anyways, here is the order:

Intro

First Verse

Chorus

Second Verse

Now for the part right after the breakdown play the second half of either verse

this:

Outro

e|-7~--5-5-7----------|
B|-7~--5-5-7----------|
G|-8~--6-6-8----------|
