These are the chords for Matt Skiba's new song 'S.O.S.' which is on his new
upcoming solo album 'Demos' which is due to be out this August. Please be 
aware I don't know the definite lyrics so I'm just putting down what I can
hear. If you have any corrections, I'll be more than happy to put update the
tab with them. I've indicated the lines I'm not sure on with a '(?)'.

                                      Important Note:
 B5--------------------| (x244xx@1) This riff is also played over the final chorus, but
--------------------|  if you don't have a second guitarist handy, just play
-11-11-11-11-11-11--|  interlude chords displayed above, they'll sound okay
-x--x--x--x--x--x---|  on their own, it's just Matt likes to make a lot of
-9--9--9--9--9--9---|  songs with two guitar tracks for more melodic beef
--------------------|  I guess.

Final chorus:

These aren't the right lyrics, but I really can't make out what he's
singing, the chords are right though. If you have any idea what they are just
say in a comment, though probably we'll find out the exact lyrics when the
album is released.
