this song is in standard tuning, of corse.

[intro] this is the verse also

e|----------------------------------------|--------------------|
B|-----8----0---------------------------xx|7-5---7h8-7-7--7-5--|
G|--7b---b7-5-[b7-b7-b7]--7p5p0------2--xx|7-5h6-7---7-7--7-5h6|x4
D|-----------------------------7p5p0-2--xx|7-5---7h9-7-7--7-5--|
A|-----------------------------------0----|--------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|--------------------|

[in the part that's bracketed, you let of the bend just a

little bit each time you pick it. if you listen to the song,

you will understand wat im talkin about and all this will fall

into place]

then this little riff comes in...

e|--------------------------------|

D|-7p5-------------7-7p5----------|
A|----7-5-3--------7----7-5-3-----|

D|-9p7----------xx-9-9p7----------6-|
A|----9-7-5-----xx-9----9-7-5-----7-|
E|---------5/7--xx-7---------5/7--0-|

then there is a little spot where they

play these weird soundin drums while some

dude in the backgound yells and stuff, and then

the solo(my favorite part) comes in.

e|-----------|-b10--8-----|---------------------|
B|-------5---|-------10---|--7-5---7--7x7-7-5---|
G|---2---5---|------------|--7-5h6-7--7x7-7-5h6-|
D|---2---5--0|------------|--7-5---7--7x7-7-5---|
A|-0-0------5|------------|---------------------|
E|-----------|------------|---------------------|
e|--------------------------|
B|-5---7-5---7h8-7-7--7-5---|
G|-5h6-7-5h6-7---7-7--7-5h6-|
D|-5---7-5---7h9-7-7--7-5---|
A|--------------------------|

then they play this riff as the song fades out.
