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

Tuned Down 2 Steps (Low To High: C,G,Eb,Bb,F,C)

Note

*On the repeats, Josh doesn't always play exactly the same thing,

just listen for it, it's not too tough. It's mainly on the ending riff.

*He will sometimes use wah as a filter effect. If you ever hear a live

version of any of their songs, you'll hear it more clearly.

*The sound at the beginning is flanged bass feedback
