My first tab!

Well the chorus is just the intro

second verse is the same as the first except: the little lick at the end of the pm
section is played higher up, like this:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------4h5-h-7-9-7---------------------------------------------------------|
D|---5h7---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
   solo backing guitar 2    repeat this over and over for the solo.
   I think the solo is just improvised, might tab it later

   bridge

D|--2--4--5--7----2--4--99-7----2--4--5--7---2--4--5-7-----------------------|

E|--0--2--3--5----0--2--77-5----0--2--3--5---0--2--3-5-----------------------|
   then main riff (intro) once  and then the chorus once BUT play it two frets up so
its like this:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--9------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--9-9--7/9-11-----  and so on   -------------------------------------------|
A|--7-9--7/9-11--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----7--5/7-9---------------------------------------------------------------|
 some tremolo picking comes in so:
                                                                            |
   this is the toughest,(3x)   on the last time, go a string down like this V
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999---------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------99999999999999999999-|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

then theres another verse, (played up 2 frets again) then a chorus, and after a few
repeats, tremolo comes in again.  fade out

   Enjoy!
