Pre Pre Verse (technically thats what it is) (this parts tricky,
especially the high part at the end, try and use either your
middle finger or ring finger for the top two strings and mute
the rest with your thumb.)

Variation of pre pre verse ( this part is done after the above is played once,
i know its a pain but if you listen Aaron plays the part differently the 2nd time)

Verse: ( now this was the hardest part becides the intro,
the guitaris very low in the mix so its hard to hear
and it took me a while to figure this out,it should
be very close, if not let me know)

* the part in the stars gets repeated, the part before the stars
is only the first time, i know its confusing but this stuff is hard
to explain in tabs.
Pre Chrous:

semi-PM = *
Chrous ( this part is actually palmmuting the lower notes and
not palmmuting the higher strings so theres both muted notes and
crazy harmonics at the same time, or you could just have two guitars
each part :) )

G------------then-------77-9---

Bridge: (these chors can be played as octave chords too...)
e-----------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------
G------6-4-44444---------------6-44444-7--
D-444--6-4-44444--666-9-7--444-6-44444-7--
A-444--4-2-22222--666-9-7--444-4-22222-5--
E-222-------------444-7-5--222------------
Then go back to intro after the bridge, at the end do the slide up
and back downwith the A power chord,and end up hitting A5
again but this time holding it.
Cool little interlude : This part is damn hard,i saw Aaron do it using
full bar chords but obviously only playing the high notes. I cant do this
very well so I'll tab out my way. If you wanna play his was use the bar
chords A Major where there are 5's below, C# minor where there is the 4
and 5, and E major (at 7th fret on A string) where there are 5 and 7.

Well thats that, a difficult song to tab but i think you'll find this tab better
than most of the crap tabs out there. Please email me to let me know what you
think or if you have questions !!! I have other tabs by RBF if anyone wants any.
