Tuning:Standard

Hi, here's my first tab. It's just a base, not very accurate, but I tab what I ear
because it's impossible to find a tab for this song.
I think the real tuning is 1/2 town down so you can play the song on the A string
but I don't want to change the tuning of my guitar.

Listen to the song for the rhythm, it's quite difficult :)

Acoustic part : tremolo picking
e|----------------------|-----------------------------------|
B|----------------------|-----------------------------------|
G|----------------------|-----------------------------------|
D|----------------------|-----------------------------------|
A|---------------11-8---|--8------10-8----------------------|
E|---6-9-6-9-6-9--------|--------------12-------------------|

Repeat the first half, then play

e|---6-6-6-6-6---------------------------------------------|
B|---6-6-6-6-6---------------------------------------------|
G|---6-6-6-6-6---------------------------------------------|
D|---8-8-8-8-8---------------------------------------------|
A|---8-8-8-8-8---------------------------------------------|
E|---6-6-6-6-6---------------------------------------------|

Now "tremolo strum" those chords, one measure each

e|---6---4---6---4-------------------------------------|
B|---6---6---8---4-------------------------------------|
G|---6---6---8---5-------------------------------------|
D|---8---6---8---6-------------------------------------|
A|---8---4---6---6-------------------------------------|
E|---6-----------4-------------------------------------|

Again the first part
First break, the rhythm changes, slower than the beginning of the song :

e|--4--4--4--x--|6-6-6--6-6-6-6|--4--4--4--x--|6-6-6-6-4-4-4-4|
B|--4--4--4--x--|6-6-6--6-6-6-6|--4--4--4--x--|8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6|
G|--5--5--5--x--|6-6-6--6-6-6-6|--5--5--5--x--|8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6|
D|--6--6--6--x--|8-8-8--8-8-8-8|--6--6--6--x--|8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6|
A|--6--6--6--x--|8-8-8--8-8-8-8|--6--6--6--x--|6-6-6-6-4-4-4-4|
E|--4--4--4--x--|6-6-6--6-6-6-6|--4--4--4--x--|---------------|

Second break

Play that (not exact, I can't figure the exact chord, I think it's not a guitar playin that)

e|----6----6----6----6---4-4-4--4-4-4-------------------------------|
B|----6----6----6----6---4-4-4--4-4-4-------------------------------|
G|----6----6----6----6---5-5-5--5-5-5-------------------------------|
D|--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8---6-6-6--6-6-6-------------------------------|
A|--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8---6-6-6--6-6-6-------------------------------|
E|--6-6--6-6--6-6--6-6---4-4-4--4-4-4-------------------------------|

Then with distortion, repeat that little riff

e|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------99999--------------------------------|
D|-----------------99999--------------------------------|
A|-----------------77777--------------------------------|
E|-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6--------------------------------------|

Then play (this is not exact but sounds good)
e|---------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------|
G|--9-10-9-7-9-10-6----------------------|
D|--9-10-9-7-9-10-6----------------------|
A|--7-8--7-5-7-8--4----------------------|
E|---------------------------------------|


Second part of the song (you can turn off the distortion now :))



Guitar part :

e|-------10----10----10----------8-----8--8--8-----------12----12----12----|
B|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------8--8--8--8--8-----11-11-11-11-11----11-11-|
G|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-|

A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then

e|-------10----10----10----------10----10-10-10-10--|
B|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11--|

D|-12-12-------12-12-------12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|

e|-------8-----------8-----------12----12----12----|
B|-------8--8--------8--8--11-11-11-11-11----11-11-|
G|-9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-|
D|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|
A|-------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|

                         x2                   x2                       x2
e|------------------------|--------------------|-12----12----12----12---|
B|-------10----------10-10|-8----8----8----8---|-11----11----11----11---|
G|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10|-9----9----9----9---|----12----12----12----12|
D|-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12|---10---10---10---10|----10----10------------|
A|------------------------|--------------------|------------------------|
E|------------------------|--------------------|------------------------|

Then the main riff :

e|-------10----10----10---|-------10----10-10-10-10--|\
B|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10|-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11--| \
G|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10|-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--|  \
D|-12-12-------12-12------|-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--|   |
A|------------------------|--------------------------|   |
E|------------------------|--------------------------|   |
                                                         |repeat
                          x2                        x2   |that !
e|-------8-----------8----|-------12----12----12-----|   |
B|-------8--8--------8--8-|-11-11-11-11-11----11-11--|   |
G|-9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9-|-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--|   |
D|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--|  /
A|------------------------|--------------------------| /
E|------------------------|--------------------------|/

At the last minute, it's the same chords:

e|-------10----10----10----------8-----8--8--8-----------12----12----12----|
B|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------8--8--8--8--8-----11-11-11-11-11----11-11-|
G|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-|
