THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Reasons that should make you believe its right:

1) I looked it over and played with it about 10 times

2) I love this song

3) Look at the detail!

4) I don't like hate mail.

Key:

^ - hit or pull off

* - hold on note

Comments:

The song really isn't this long, but there are a few small variations

which I tabbed out to make it clear.

Listen to the song with your bass way up, it's easy to hear the changes.

INTRO:

The song starts with a wicked drum intro

(except for the part where he times his bass drum beat badly -

I can't believe they recorded it)

Then it starts off with a distortion fading guitar with the bass

1st time:

G:--------------------------------------------------

D:--0000-2222-4444-5555-7777-55^7^5--4444-22^4^2----

A:--------------------------------------------------

E:--------------------------------------------------

2nd time: - This is not the same thing, you'll hear the change

(^ means hit on the note, or pull off, whichever, you'll see)

G:--------------------------------------------------

D:--0000-2222-4444-5555-7777-55^7^5--44^55-22^4^2---

A:--------------------------------------------------

E:--------------------------------------------------

3rd time (repeated twice) - Yes this is different, and its noticeably

different.

G:--------------------------------------------------

D:--0000-2222-4444-5555-7777-55^7^5--44^5-222^4^2---

A:--------------------------------------------------

E:--------------------------------------------------

Then it stops for Scott (the old drummer) to

do a roll on one of the cymbals (crash?)

Bass does:

(* means hold on the note)

G:-------------------------------------------

D:-0*-------------------0*-------------------

A:-------------------------------------------

E:-------------------------------------------

Then the bass does this twice:

G:-------------------------------------------

D:--55555555---------------------------------

A:-----------33333333-55555555-33333333------

E:-------------------------------------------

Then back to another variation of the first riff, only quicker:

G:-------------------------------------------

D:-00-22-44-55-77-55-4^5^4-2^4^2-------------

A:-------------------------------------------

E:-------------------------------------------

And then finally, the last part of the intro

G:-------------------------------------------

D:-00-22-44-55-77777777----------------------

A:-------------------------------------------

E:-------------------------------------------

As for the actual song (even though the intro is way cooler):

Mark (bass) does this 4 times during the verse

G:-------------------------------------------

D:--55555555---------------------------------

A:-----------33333333-55555555-33333333------

E:-------------------------------------------

Then theres another roll on the cymbals which leads into the chorus

G:-------------------------------------------

D:-0*-------------------0*-------------------

A:-------------------------------------------

E:-------------------------------------------

Ok that's like the hard part of the song,

then you just do this the rest of the way:

G:-------------------------------------------

D:--5555-------------------------------------

A:-------3333-5555-3333----------------------

E:-------------------------------------------

EXCEPT! Right before Mark sings the chorus for the last time

(During the end of the guitar solo)

Go back to this:

G:-------------------------------------------

D:--55555555---------------------------------

A:-----------33333333-55555555-33333333------

E:-------------------------------------------

Then back to the regular riff, and end the song

G:-------------------------------------------

D:--5555-------------------------------------

A:-------3333-5555-3333----------------------

E:-------------------------------------------

Just remember to end on

D:--0*---------------------------------------
