There aren't many parts that I can tab out on here, but I'm going to try my best! This
song is tweaked around with pedals, looping, and sampling, so it's not much of a
guitar-type of song. This tab is more based towards the live performances from 2007 to 
2010, so enjoy!

INTRO: Ian (Guitar)
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|-----------------------|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-10--10--10--10b11--10-|

*Ian's part is basically just that mixed with hitting a "D" on a keyboard in sync, but
that's basically all there is to that part.*

INTRO: Ty (Guitar Loop)

e|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|----------------|
D|(0)-------------|
A|-0--------------|
E|-0--------------|

*Honestly, I'm very curious to what Tyondai plays for that distorted-industrial sounding
loop. I'm pretty sure it's just E, A, and D open. If it is not that, he has multiple
over-laid effects on it and it could honestly be a grouping/chord of harmonics. It's 
hard to tell, I apologize...*

Pre-Chorus/Pre-Verse?*: Dave (Bass)

G|---------------|
D|---------------|
A|---------------|
E|5/14-----------|

*From what it sounds like, it sounds like Dave has a bunch of bass/crunch on this part
of the song. Only on this part.*

Pre-Chorus/Pre-Verse?*: Ian (Guitar)
*Honestly, I don't think this part matters... ...but I believe it's just mutes to the rhythm.*

Chorus/Verse?*: Dave (Clean Bass)

*That will loop many times in either version of the song.*

*Also, at a certain point, this part will do this...*
