****Little mock-chorus at the end but same chords as chorus above.

The End

***For acoustic, verses 2 & 4 can be played with G/C/D/C instead of G5/Csus/D5/Csus to a 
distorted sound.

**Special Thanks to Nuzza for the intro struming bit.

*And if anyone has any suggestions, well too bad, make ur own tab, it was a b*tch to do 
for this. And by the way this is the exact same song as diaspora which was mislabeled on 
of the albums, so i did this for both.
