Tuning: Drop C (C,G,C,F,A,D)

I'm doing this without a guitar in my hands and just going by my cover on YouTube so I
apologize for any mistakes now. I haven't played this song in a few months. This is just
the rhythm, there is a lead guitar in a few obvious parts, but I haven't learned those 
parts yet. I may go back and add those parts in later.

Riff 1 - Clean
D|---------------------------|------|
A|---------------------------|------|
F|-8p7---7---8p7---7---5h7---|---2~-|
C|-----0---0-----0---0-----0-|---0~-|
G|---------------------------|------|
C|---------------------------|------|

Play Riff 1 x7 (final time, let that chord ring out at the end)

Riff 2 - Distortion
D|----------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------|
F|----------------------------------------------------------|
C|-6-0--0--0-1-0--0--0-3--5--6-6-6-6-6-3-6-5--5-5-5-5-3-3-3-|

C|-6-0--0--0-1-0--0--0-3--5--6-6-6-6-6-3-6-5--5-5-5-5-3-3-3-|

Play Riff 2 x4
Play Riff 1 x4   "All I can see is a shell of me from years ago..."

Riff 3   "I wanna burn myself, I wanna cut my skin..."
D|--------------------------------------------------------|

Note: The rhythm is pretty tricky here, I tried to portray it in the tab as best I
could. I recommend breaking it down into beats and listen very carefully to the song.

Play Riff 2 x4   "I keep banging my head against this wall..."
Play Riff 1 x5   (w/ that added chord at the end for the final time)
Play Riff 3      "I grind my teeth to stone..."
Play Riff 2 x4   "I keep banging my head against this wall..."
          (note: there's a upward slide heading into the chorus after
                 playing Riff 3 this time)

Riff 4

Note: Those are natural harmonics at the end. Keep hitting them at each fret as you go up.

Note: Let that last chord ring out while another guitar plays Riff 1 underneath w/ that
last chord ringing out at the end.

Play Riff 2 x4   "I keep banging my head against this wall..."
Play Riff 4 w/ the following alteration at the end (listen to the song)

   "I keep banging my head!"
