Guitar 1- this part I'm really not sure about because its so faint, but I tried, but I
what seemed to make the most sense. Email me if you want me to make some corrections or something.

Guitar 2- this is digitally looped or something, but I'm guessing this is how they would
it live.

"Now my eyes flash with WHITE"
Both Guitars- I personally like to play this using powerchords instead of single notes
the low D string, but I think this is how it's played on the record.

Guitar 1- syncs up with Guitar 2 on the dissonant note only. All the rest is distorted
until the end where an 8th fret A string/10th fret G string octave bleeds into the next
before its struck again at the beginning of the verse.

McTague uses a reverb petal of some sort here, so each note is struck three times and
for a while. Guitar 2 is absent.

Guitars one and two play that twice more (part 1, part 2, part 1, part 2, end).
Guitar 3-(played over the last part 1/part 2 verse)-played really fast many times.

I THINK there's a fourth guitar track playing over the other three on the very last
2", but its too faint for me to figure out.
Yeah, so basically I think this is probably the closest tab to the actual song out there
now. Email me if you got some comments or corrections because I need this sheezy to be perfect.
