STANDARD TUNING

tabbed by Solomon

key

b=bend

/=slide

*=look fo note under tab section

.=palm mute

This is a pretty cool song, first tab here but since my own guitar playing style seems to be quite a bit like

Jason Stollsteimer's(lead vocalist/guitarist) style it came naturally, so it should be

accurate, the solo might be a bit off in some places though, enjoy!

Intr/2nd verse- also played throughout the song

e|---------------|
b|---------------|
g|---------------|
d|---------------|
a|---555---------|
E|00-----5-55--33|x4

chorus/1st verse- listen for it.

e|--------------------------------------|R
b|--------------------------------------|Y   just the intro turned into power chords, played by the rythim guitar
g|----777---------|T--------------------|     so its still playing sometimes while the lead comes in.
d|22--777-7-77--55----------------------|H
a|22--555-7-77--55----------------------|M
E|00------5-55--33----------------------|  x4

Prechorus-

e|----------------------|
b|--------------------10|L
g|-----------------79/11|E       the 2nd part of that im not so sure about it but pick

11 several fast times of course,

d|---5-----------79-----|A-------------|     listen for it from the lead guitar.
a|057-757------------------------------|D
E|-------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------|R
b|--------------------------------|Y
g|--------------------------------|T
d|9-9-9-9-------------------------|H
a|9-9-9-9-------------------------|M
e|7-7-7-7|  x2--------------------|     starts off prechorus and plays in the middle after lead does its first little riff.

I doubt its completely right....

Solo-

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
b|-----------------------------------------------------------15b-12----------------------------------|L
g|1414-1212-1414-1212---------------------12-9912-9912-99/12-------141214b12----*------------------9b|E

a|------------------------141214------14-----------------------------------------57-------57---------|D
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

* a note on this ascending riff here, it sounds like he starts very low but thats actually the

bass playing, he pauses for a split second then begins the ascend.

Solo(cont.)-

Rythm plays the 2nd part

lead's prechorus or it may be dubbed, whatever.

comes in where the arrow

pointing whil lead is finishing off solo, ends

with the solo's ending.

Bridge(the part RIGHT after solo)

e|-------|
b|-------|
g|-------|

d|0000-79|

a|0000-79|

E|0000-57|x8(might be more listen for it and you'll get it) its either open or not

at all, i believe its actually played by the

bass but if you want to play it there it is.

refrain(RIGHT after bridge)

e|---------------|
b|---------------|
g|---------------|
d|---------------|
a|---555---------|
E|00-----5-55--33|x2
