This is a cool song off the new album..enjoy playing it!  
The intro is played throughout the song.  You can play it palm muted or not..however 
it sounds better palm muted.  There's also a 2nd guitar using a wah pedal, but since 
I don't have a wah pedal, I did not tab those parts.

PM - Palm mute
h - Hammer on
p - Pull off
/ - Slide up
\ - Slide down
