Intro/Verse: (0:00/0:22) This album features a lot of loops, this is one that is repeated throughout the intro and both verses e|--------12+-------12+-------12+-------12+----------------------------------| B|--------12+-------12+-------12+-------12+-------7+------7+------7+------7+-| G|------------------------------------------------7+------7+------7+------7+-| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar 1: Jimmy (Slightly palm-muted) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| (repeat) A|---9--------7--------5----------------------------5----5s7----7s9----------| E|-7--------5--------3----------------------------3----3------5--------------| Towards the end of the first (0:44), this variable is played e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---7-----------------------------------------------4-----------------------| A|-9----------7--------5----------------------------------7-----7s9----------| E|----------5--------3-----------------------------3----5----5---------------| Guitar 2: Yannis e|-----1919191919-17---------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------19-------------17---------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------19------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Throughout the verses, Yannis plays a few random little parts using the same notes, otherwise he's playing the looped part at the top of this tab. He also plays something similar to these (have a listen and see what you can make out of his parts in the verses) e|-----19--17--------------------------------------------------12+-----------| B|----------------19-19----------------------------------------12+-----------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------14-14-16-16-14---------------16-16-14--------------------| D|---------14-16-------------------------------------------------------------| A|------14-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus: (0:51) Guitar 1: Jimmy (listen to track for timing) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----0h7-0h4---------0h7-0h4-----------0h4-0h2-----------------0h2----------| (repeat) A|-------------------------------------------------------------------0h2-----| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar 2: Yannis (tremolo picking, delay) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-141414141414141414141414--------------------------------------------------| (14) D|-------------------------16161616161616161616161616161616161616161614141414| (16 & 14) A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-12121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121214141414141212141414161616| (12, 14 & 16) A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------1414141414141414141414--------------------| D|-12121212121212121212121212121212----------------------16161616161616141414| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-12121212121212121212121212121212121212161616161614141414121212121212121212| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse: (1:21) (repeat previous verse) Chorus: (1:57) (repeat previous chorus) Part 2: (2:27) Guitar 1: Jimmy e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------7---7----------------------------5---5-------------| G|-7--------------------6---6---6s4----------------------4---4---4s7---------| (repeat) A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Guitar 2: Yannis This part variates slightly, listen to the track to hear where and what they are.

This part I'm not so sure about, please comment any corrections Jimmy repeats his part from the break for the majority of the rest of the song, then takes over yannis' tremolo part at 4:24 Yannis moves onto this: (4:23) (Tremolo picking, delay) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
