This is my first tab attempt ever so bear with me. It sounds right anyway. Opening Riff...Repeat it 5 times e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---4--4--4--3--3--3--2-----2--2--4--7--4------4--4--4--3--3--3--2---| D|---4--4--4--3--3--3--2-----2--2--4--7--4--2---4--4--4--3--3--3--2---| A|---2--2--2--1--1--1--0-----0--0--2--5--2--2---2--2--2--1--1--1--0---| E|------------------------------------------0-------------------------| Then its the chorus(?) part e|-----------------------| B|-----------------------| G|-----------------------| D|--10--6--3---10--6--8--| A|--10--6--3---10--6--8--| E|---8--4--1----8--4--6--| This isn't the proper amount of strumming but play along and pick up the right strumming. Then play this again 5 more times e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---4--4--4--3--3--3--2-----2--2--4--7--4------4--4--4--3--3--3--2--| D|---4--4--4--3--3--3--2-----2--2--4--7--4--2---4--4--4--3--3--3--2--| A|---2--2--2--1--1--1--0-----0--0--2--5--2--2---2--2--2--1--1--1--0--| E|------------------------------------------0------------------------| Then the chorus again... e|-----------------------| B|-----------------------| G|-----------------------| D|--10--6--3---10--6--8--| A|--10--6--3---10--6--8--| E|---8--4--1----8--4--6--| Then the solo...which I didn't tab out :) Then play a G and then play... e|---------------------------------------------| B|---5s7--0--3-----5s7--0--3--3----------------| G|--------------2--------------------7-----7---| D|--------------------------------5--7--5--7--5| A|--------------------------------5--5--5--5--5| E|--------------------------------3-----3-----3| Then back to that opening riff (x4). It sounds like they're also playing a solo along with it but I didn't tab the solo out. Then you play the chorus (x4) Then, finally back to the opening riff 2 times. Thats all folks.
