PART A E------------------0--------------------| B---------0-----------------0-----------| G--1--------1------------1--------------| D------0-------0------0--------0--------| A--0---------------0--------------------| E---------------------------------------| E------------------0--------------------| B---------0-----------------0-----------| G--0--------0------------0--------------| D------0-------0------0--------0--------| A--0---------------0--------------------| E---------------------------------------| PART B E------------------0--------------------| B---------0-----------------0-----------| G--8--------8------------8--------------| D------0-------0------0--------0--------| A--8---------------8--------------------| E---------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------| B---------0--------------0------------| G--3--------3-----0---------0---------| D------0-------0------4---------0-----| A--3---------------0------------------| E-------------------------------------| PART C repeats 8 the first time and 4 times in the verses E----------------| B-----------0----| G--------0-------| D-----2-------2--| A--3-------------| E----------------| the order is roughly: intro PART A PART B PART C verse PART A PART B PART B PART C then back into the intro. just repeats after that basically. there's a break down part that's sort of like this: E------------------9------7------| B---------0----------------------| G--8--------8--------------------| D------0-------0------0------0---| A--8---------------8------8------| E--------------------------------| E---------2--------2h4----2--------| B----------------------------------| G--3--------3----------------0-----| D------0-------0--------4-------4--| A--3---------------0---------------| E----------------------------------| as far as the solo i sort of just do my own thing. it's best to listen to the song or watch live videos or something (that's how i figured it out) i apologize if this tab is confusing/terrible but i usually don't tab songs out
