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

Drop D Tuning, Down 1 1/2 Steps

B F# B E G# C#

- = palm mute

I tabbed this using Drop D, then down 1 1/2 steps. I'm not

sure if the song is actually down 1 1/2 steps. Hopefully

it's right anyway. It's close. For riff 1 and fill 1b use

very heavy palm muting. Listen to the song if you want to

try and perfect it. At 4:19 the 18th fret on the C# string

is played. I didn't want to tab it, because it's only played

once. Not too hard to figure out though. Listen close.
