Tabbed by:KIDRoach


I saw various tabs but none of them seems right. The other one was pretty close 
but had a different rhythm from what I'm hearing in the song. 

This is for the studio version. The tabs for the live version is different because 
most of the time, they use half step down tuning(EbAbDbGbBbeb).


Good luck :) 

Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe) or Half Step Down(EbAbDbGbBbeb)
