This is a great song and a fun one to play. I have fixed up
a few parts of this tab and added in more detail. Luckily
the original was well done and was easy to work with. Anyway
here it is the revised edition of 46 and 2.

e---------------------------------------------------------
b---------------------------------------------------------
g---------------------------------------------------------

b-----------------------------------------------
g-----------------------------------------------
d-----------------------------------------------
a-----------------------------------------------
d-12-0-10-0-13p12-0-12-0-10-0-13p12-0-8h10------

back to a verse type thing
play this 8x
the 8th time builds up and he does some sorta
harmonic type thing.
e---------------------------------
b---------------------------------
g---------------------------------
d---------------------------------
a--5--3--6p5--5--3--6p5-1h3-------
d---------------------------------

chorus again:
same as above pretty much

then a bridge type thing here:

play this 4x palm muted
d--5h7--00--35-0-57-0-5-0-5-3-0-------------
a--5h7--00--35-0-57-0-5-0-5-3-0-------------
d--5h7--00--35-0-57-0-5-0-5-3-0-------------

then comes a solo of sorts:
tremolo pick this whole thing
e---------------------------------
b------6'''-5'''-4'''-------------
g-7'''-7'''-7'''-7'''-------------
d---------------------------------
a---------------------------------
d---------------------------------

then breakdown: 4x
e---------------------------------
b---------------------------------
g---------------------------------
d-0-00-3h5-3-0-3-5-3-0-3----------
a-0-00-3h5-3-0-3-5-3-0-3----------
d-0-00-3h5-3-0-3-5-3-0-3----------

then play this:
d--12-0-10-0-13p12-0-12-0-10-0-13p12-0-
 4x open
 4x muted
 4x open
 4x muted
 4x open
(then keep playing it muted through out
the drum solo)

-near the end of the solo there is another buildup
 and and the guitar is no longer muted and sounds
 like it has a phaser effect on it and some haromonics.
 while this is happening another guitar track is playing
 the higher octave.
 like so:
d--12-0-10-0-13p12-0-12-0-10-0-13p12-0---
a----------------------------------------
d----------------------------------------
and it ends like this:
e-----------------------------------------------
b-----------------------------------------------
g-----------------------------------------------
d--12-10-13-12-10-13-12-10-12b(about 1/2 step)--
a-----------------------------------------------
d-----------------------------------------------

then its this again with phaser and using harmonics
play about 16x
a--------------------------------------
d--12-0-10-0-13p12-0-12-0-10-0-13p12-0-

here come the outro:

play this 4x and on the last
play fill (b) at the indicated spot.
d--12--10--13p12--12--10--13p12--8h10--
a--12--10--13p12--12--10--13p12--8h10--
d--12--10--13p12--12--10--13p12--8h10--
                ^
 play fill here |

fill (b):
g-----5-------------
d--3--5--0--1-------
a--3--3--0--1-------
