There is another tab for this song. It is close but there are some mistakes with it. i 
very confident that this is the correct way to play it. i can play it right along with 
song just the way they do it.

it is tuned to drop D and is played very fast, so watch out.

Intro Part 2
this is played at a low volume for two measures then gets pretty loud. I recommend using 
volume pedal, if you don't have one... well nothing has to be perfect.

this comes in during the verse also on a seperate guitar. thats the only time guitar 2 
something different. the rest of the time guitar 2 just doubles guitar 1.
