Tabbed by Nathan Simpson

It was quite difficult to tab this song, so sorry if it isn't very accurate
There are 2 guitars in this song, and I normally play bass, so this was
quite difficult for me..  This is the first guitar tab I've posted, although
 I've done a few bass tabs.

Main Riff - Guitar 1 Clean - Guitar 2 Distortion
The end of this riff I'm not entirely sure about but sounds fine

Both guitars with distortion after intro I think

E----------------------------------
B----------------------------------
G----------------------------------
D--0-0-3-5-3-0---------------------
A--------------4--3-3--0-0--3-4-0--

Guitar 1 intro x1
Guitar 2 comes in 2nd time and continues through verse

While one guitar plays this, the other plays some lower chords
E----------------------------------------
B--8--8-8---10-b---8--8-8---10-b--10--10-
G--7--7-7---9--b---7--7-7---9--b--9---9--
D----------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------

You might want to play this to try and replicate both parts

E---------------------------------------------
B--8--8-8---10--b----8--8-8---10--b--10--10---
G--7--7-7---9---b----7--7-7---9---b--9---9----
D--5--5-5---7--------5--5-5---7------7---7----
A--5--5-5---7--------5--5-5---7------7---7----
E---------------------------------------------

If you're in Drop D tuning then play the low D string at the same fret as the A and high D
if you want a heavier sound


Heavier Part
Not sure about this but it sounds alright
This could also be what is being played before it, however the bass is playing lower
notes, and as the bass is playing the root a lot of the time it suggests otherwise
E----------------------------------
B----------------------------------
G-7-7-7-7-7-7-----5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--
D-7-7-7-7-7-7-----5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-----3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--
E----------------------------------


There's a solo of some sort.  I'm not going to tab it so there.
But it starts like this I reckon...

Riff Before solo
e--------------
B-------6------  Both guitars play this
G-5-5-7---7----  however one plays something
D--------------  else on the end of it
A--------------
E--------------

Sorry if this isn't much but it's a start.  I'll continue trying to work out
the rest of the song.  After all, I only spent 20 minutes working this out, so
with a bit more time I should have most of it sorted.
