Tuning: E MajorE G#G# BB F#F# BB D#D#

Note:
This was taken from the recent american football live performances, specifically the
redbull session. The band have tuned most of their live songs down half a step or so to
compensate for Mike's voice not reflecting his 18 year old self anymore. This tab even
when put to the album tuning isn't played the same as the album version which is
slightly less complex but if you tune it half a step higher you should be able to
happily play along to the album version of this song.

Mike's Part:

This tab mostly covers steve's part of the song live. Mike's part is this very simple
riff repeated over from Stay Home which is played together with this song live. There's
already a very good stay home tab on the site but Mike's riff throughout this song is as
follows (Note the different tuning):

E MajorE |---------------------7-----------------------7--------|
BB |----9------9------9---------9------9------9-----------|
G#G# |-------10-----10--------10-----10-----10--------10----|
C#C# |------------------------------------------------------|
G#G# |------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE |------------------------------------------------------|

Steve's Part:

This part is fairly simple when you get the shapes down, this part repeats throughout the
song and Steve finishes by strumming the first chord played (9-8-9-0-0-0).
