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

Solo

(Middle 8)

If you have a tremolo bar you can use that to bend down, rather than having to bend up first.

There are also some of Matt's classic weird effects on here, but this sounds okay.

This is the only part of the tab which might not be in time,

so listen to the song to hear how it should roughly sound.

Chorus

[Intro] (x8) on different, more tinny setting, e.g. use treble pickup rather than rhythm.

[Intro] (x8) normal

Chrous, but no palm muting or letting ring, constant struming.

Pretty much right i think, any silly mistakes/disagreements then um, oh well, let's hope i spot 'em.
