What?! No tabs for this song anywhere online? Well here's what I believe to be the
first attempt at tabbing this out. Any comments or corrections are welcome. The only
part I haven't got is the guitar solo and improvised fills for the second guitar.
It's been a while since I posted a tab but here one is.

Please rate this tab =D

Also, why not check out my band's site while youre here:

CHORUS
BOTH GUITARS - DISTORTION

I'm pretty sure this is accurate but its possible they may be playing in Drop-D to put 
power behind the D power chord.

Directly after the solo the distortion goes away and both guitars play lines similar to this.
