Not sure why this tab was rejected initially, it's the only tab for this song on the internet
(so far) and I'm pretty sure it's perfect... I've included one
chord chart for acoustic and one for electric (seeing as open chords tend to sound like
mud on electric). Use as you see fit. Some of the lyrics may
be a bit off. You HAVE to listen to a recording to get the strumming down. I didn't include
palm muting in this version, seeing as you can play it
muted or not depending on which you prefer (just listen to the recording for when to mute,
or e-mail me) =P
