I read the other tab posted for this song - but i thought it was a little
off and made the song more complicated than it was.  It was a good tab
tho.  Anyways - here's my way of playing it.


Intro:

e------------------------------3-3----------------------------- 
b------3-3---------------------6-6----------------------------- 
g------2-2-----------0---------5-5----------------------------- 
d--0---0-0-------0h3---3p0--3--3-3-----------------0-----------
a-----------0h1-------------3--3-3---0-3/5\3p0-----------------
D---0-----------------------3--3-3--------------3-----0-------- 

Verse:
(same thing as the intro basically)

e------------------------------3-3----------------------------- 
b------3-3---------------------6-6----------------------------- 
g------2-2-----------0---------5-5----------------------------- 
d------0-0-------0h3---3p0-(3)-3-3-----------------0-----------
a-----------0h1------------(3)-3-3---0-3/5\3p0-----------------
D---0-----------------------3--3-3--------------3-------------- 

Chorus:
(here are the chords, figure out the strumming pattern by listening to the song)

e---3---2---1---0----------------------------------------------
b---6---5---4---3---3/6----------------------------------------
g---5---4---3---2---2/5----------------------------------------
d---3---2---1---0----------------------------------------------
a---3---2---1---0----------------------------------------------
D---3---2---1---0----------------------------------------------

keep the guitar clean after the first verse - but after that - use distortion.
