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

by Tobes (flipsta101@hotmail.com)

4-string version (detune your E string 1 1/2 steps to Db)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the outro is just the verse riff three more times, but the third

time it's played like this -

with the muted notes in the verse, it's far easier to "tap" them with one of

the fingers on your

right hand than to actually pluck them - i think this is what Scott Weiland

(Linkin Park touring

bassist) does on the album and when he plays live.
