Intro(clean Guitar), listen to song for timing,
(here I've put 6 each chord, there's roughly 10 I think)

Riff 1
e--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------
D--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-------------------------
A--2-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-
E--------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-


Use a Distortion Pedal now and play the above riff again. Hard Strums,
Downwards direction only.(i find that a bit of overdrive on my amp gives
it a Harsher sound, like on the cd.)


Now theres a hush and just before the singing starts, theres a small
solo,
here ( slide the notes rather than Hammering in the frets.)

Riff 2
e--7^9--5^7--3^5--2^3^2-------
B-----------------------3^3p0-
G-----------------------------
D-----------------------------
A-----------------------------
E-----------------------------

Thats basically it. play riff 1 throughout the song and fade at the end.
I dont
think there is an outro.

 

For Intrests sake, the bass part(which can be played on a guitar) goes:

e-------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------
A-------------3-3-3-3-5-3-------------------------
E-0-0-0-0-3-0-------------3-3-3-3-5-3-2-2-2-2-3-2-
