Notes: This is my first tab so go easy on me ;)
Tuning: Drop D
Intro
e|----------------------------| *Note: The N means to plunk above the nut of
B|--3--3--3-3-3---------------| the 3rd string. With distortion, the sound
G|--2--2--2-2-2----N-N-N-N----| sounds better. If your guitar doesn't make
D|--0--0--0-0-0---------------| that sound (some don't), then find a pitch
A|--0--0--0-0-0---------------| shifting pedal and make it go up 2 octives
D|--0--0--0-0-0---------------| and pluck the 7th fret on the 3rd string.
Verse
e|---| *Note: Pluck this every 4th beat for about
B|---| 16 times, then comes the chorus.

2nd Verse
e|-----|---------| *Note: This part is very tricky and even harder if
B|-----|---------| you havn't played it a lot. Play first riff here 8
G|--N--|------N--| times, just like in Verse 1, but this time on the 9th
D|-----|--9------| time around, play riff 2 and continue to do that 8
A|-----|--10-----| more times, so just like Verse 1 the riffs are played
D|-----|---------| 16 times.

e|--------------------------------------| *Note: This is different from all

G|--2--2--2-2-2----xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-0-0-| have to tremolo pluck the 3rd and
D|--0--0--0-0-0----xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-----| 4th stings about 16 times like
A|--0--0--0-0-0-------------------------| crazy!
