which has been around for like 3-4 years? Anyway, was playing the CD
on my long bus ride home when I suddenly felt that this's a god damm
nice song. When I reached home, I immediately look for the tab.
Although I found 1 but it was not correct. No ownership is found in
the tab but here is it, just in case you wanna compare -
C - C - Am - Em.
So I spent around 2 hours tabbing this one out from scratch. Enjoy.

This riff is played through the whole song expect the chorus.

Chorus:
    F        		F
E-|-1--1---------------+-1----1-------------------------|
B-|-1----1-------------+-1------1--- This is played at -|
G-|-2------------------+-2--2------- the end of each   -|

A-|--------------------+--------------------------------|
E-|- M A I N  R I F F -+--------------------------------|

The chorus is a bit tricky, you must listen to the song
carefully to get the timing. The rhythm chords is still
the same but the lead guitar is holding F throughout.
It may sound difficult performing this part but basically
you strum the F chord from your D to High-E before
plucking the "F" and "C" notes. Well, the chorus tab
might not be 100% correct but it is definitely close.

- CD Timing for the first chorus -
00:58 - Start of chorus
00:59 - Start of the F strum
01:01 - Start of the F strum
01:03 - Start of the F strum
01:05 - Start of the F strum
As you can see its at ABOUT a 2 sec interval.

You should get the rhythm by now, if you can't, listen
to this part a few times.

That's basically all to this song. Simple and nice.
Anyone care to tab out the bass?
