Guitar Tab
Gratitute - Last Questions, comments, additions: vanceho[(at)]hotmail.com This song is in D and pretty much based around the Dsus2 chord. The two guitars in the little intro start off playing this chord and come back to it often throughout the song. You can play this in dropped-D if you want little heavier sound, especially if you throw the bottom D in on the Dsus2's and the D octaves. The lyrics below were taken from a lyrics site and I'm pretty sure they are wrong, but they look close enough for you to learn the song by.

---0-----7------x--------5----2----------------------------------------
---------5------5--------5----2---------------------------------------

The G5 and E5 sometimes sound like they are doubled with a second guitar
playing an octave higher. The song pretty much sticks to those few chords.
The only exceptions being the slightly-tricky verse part below and the
bridge.

And the time just proves too much, and we're wearing down, wearing down
again.
(Second verse same as the first)
Should have been fall, with the memories of summer,
The burn of the sun and the cold,
Oh, fall, you're a comfortable lover but I just cant take all the decay.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge/Solo:
There is actually lot of stuff going on during the bridge of this song. It
sounds like there are at least three guitar parts. One just strums Dsus2 in
a regular pattern. One is really quiet and plays a bunch of random fills. I
tried to tab the main (loudest) guitar part below. Feel free to throw in any
of the fills from the other guitar if you are feeling ambitious. The notes
in parenthesis are a little quiter than the others.

Then do some chops on D(octave) with even more distortion and
start the chorus again.
That's about it. Like I said, this song is always goes back to that one
chord, so when in doubt what to play at any given time, just stick to Dsus2
and you should be fine. Please rate for accuracy!
