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

I Heard This Song And IN One Day I Figured Out Most Of IT...Not To Brag Of Course.

But Seriously If You Have Corrections Let Me Know

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Slight Distortion/Overdrive Throughout The Whole Song (they use overdrive but distortion

should do the trick)

0:01-Main Riff
