This is my first tab, i didn't like the ones already done so here's my version:

I play the chords as barre chords but can be played as open chords, i find it easier to 
barre chords to change between the riff part of the chorus and strumming the chords.


Intro:

 (Dm)  (C)  (Bm) (Bb) (A)  (G)  
 (E)
