notes:

this song was very hard to tab. i did not tab any effects...i tabbed straight guitar. 
reason why it's so hard is because mike is so quiet in the verses. i have also found three 
ways to play the solo. i put up what i thought was easiest.

this is the first song ive ever tabbed by ear. im gonna try to tab the entire LP album, 
post an album tab up here. but for now, this is what ive come up with.

it's a very good song. one of my favorites off the new album.
