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

Song

- Over -

Tabbed by: knotrice

Tuning: Standard

Doesn't matter what effect you use, except for the solo, which uses a light

distortion.

I couldn't believe how inaccurate the other tabs were on this site, so I

decided to tab it myself. I am 99% sure that this is wholly correct.

This is the riff that just repeats throughout the whole song (pretty much).

e|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
B|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
G|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
D|------6----6----6----|-6----6----6----6----|-6----5----5-----|
A|-4-------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
E|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------|

And then this is the solo bit. Note that although this can be played in a

whole lot of different ways, I find this way the easiest.

e|---------------------|----------|-------------------|
B|---------------------|----------|-------------------|
G|---------------------|----------|-------------------|
D|---------------------|-b4-------|-2----b4------2----|
A|-4-----4---7-----7---|----------|-------------------|
E|---------------------|----------|-------------------|

(b: half bend.)

The last time you play the solo riff you play an G#/Ab on the sixth string

and then you play the first riff once more, but this time with a small

variation.

e|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
B|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
G|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
D|------6----6----6----|-6----6----6----6----|-6----5----5-----|
A|-4-------------------|---------------------|-----------4-----|
E|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------|

And that's it. If you have any corrections (hopefully there will be none),

you can PM them to me or write them in the comments box.

Thank you.
