Key.
h = Hammer
P = Pull off
/ = Upslide
= Downslide
(/CS) = Slide the whole chord up
(CS) = Slide he whole chord down.
* = See note under tab. Applies ONLY to the chord the asterisk is under.
3x = Play Three times.
5x = Play 5 times (etc.)
>>> = Use aforementioned technique through the whole bar.
i.e (3x) >>> = Play every note in the line three times.
__ = Almost silent fade in.
(fs) = Full strum, open chord.
Intro.
Note: Play this with a lot of gain, and mid distortion. The mid channel should be full.
If your amp has delay it adds a nice effect. The four note slide is extremely hard to
make it sound like the CD, so practice it until it's fluid.

Verse.
Note: Of course, ride E throughout these chordes. To save tablines I'll only write
D# octaves once, but they are strummed for 4 counts. Also, on the lyric "save" I
have notated two chordes. Change them in the strum on the middle of "save".
Lyric: Don't you or save (after "me)

Transition
(Lyrics in spanish)
Note: You can either malm mute this lightly with a lot of gain, or pick it normally
three times each note while pressing the fret firmly. I use the latter. At the end,
Pickslide to the chorus.

Post-Primechorus.
(Whispered Lyrics)
Notes: If you have a footswitch, turn the bass up about five notches for this part. Ride low E a
Little harder than the higher E here for a growling effect.
Palm mute it with medium pressure and strum it firmly. This part may be wrong but it sounds
good.

PreBreak
Note: This is also pretty wrong, It sounds almost perfect on my twelve string, but I don't have
my electric with me so I don't know. Please email me about it.

*(All fast with firm palm muting to fill) First, strum 4 times; Second,
strum eight; third, strum twice; fourth, strum three times; fifth, strum four times.)
Break
Note: This part is played clean with no gain.The tab underscored is the part
that fades in and is easily unheard. Listen close* (beat by beat ;) to hear
it fade in so you don't get confused and email me abou how wrong the tab is.
*By adverbal grammar, it would be "closely."

^ ^ ^ ^ ^
^ = Quick and arpeggiated chord. That means pick it through cleanly and quickly
with no gain. What I do is barre 16 on e and b with my fourth (ring) finger, and
13 on e, b, and g with my first (pointer) finger.
Break: Chord build
Note: The final chord on this may not be right, but who cares, no one qould really be able to tell
the difference.
Lyric: Screams fade in

* Play this halfway palm muted in a fast up and down stiff strum.
And that's it. Have fun. Please Email me with questions, comments, praise,
