Notes on how to play it:
after each bass note I wrote it as though you just pluck all four or five 
strings. actually, the way she plays it is a little quick, jerky strum. a 
signature ani thing I guess. I just sort of hit the strings… as though I 
were smackin the shit outta my guitar… hehe. it's hard to explain. I think 
the best way to determine that part is to listen to the album and figure it 
out for yourself.
I use my first finger to hold down the top two strings on the first fret 
all the way through the song, like the top part of an F major chord. it's 
also convenient to mute the low E string with your thumb the whole way 
through. although if you want to avoid that it might work to tune the low E 
string up to an F as well and just play every string when you strum… I've 
never tried it.

TAB:

E----------1-----------1---------1---------1-------1------|
B----------1-----------1---------1---------1-------1------|
F----------2-----------2---------0---------2-------2------|
D----------0-----h2----2----3----3---------0-------0------|
A---h3-----3--------------------------0---------2---------|
E---------------------------------------------------------|

okay..... that's the main riff, that repeats all the way through the verses. 
contrary to popular belief however, there is a separate part to the chorus, 
which varies drastically from the verse riff.  so here that is.
these are all just strummed, as chords, but I don't know what they're 
called. so I'm tabbing them anyway

E------1----------1----------1------------1-----1---------|
B------1----------1----------1------------1-----1---------|
F------2----------2----------0------------2-----2---------|
D------0----------2----------3------------0-----0---------|
A------3----------0----------0------------0-----2---------|
E---------------------------------------------------------|
