Tuning used: Drop D
Tabs by: Sander

In the verses, these next two riffs are used (the second one is only used
during singing, f.e. "we wonder how to go on, gettin' it done, gettin' it
done..."):

| ------------------- | ---------------------------------|
| --------7--7/8-8--- | ---------------------------------|
| --------7--7/9-9--- | ---------------------------------|
| -5/7--7------------ | -0-2---2---5---5---4---4---3-3---|
| -0----0-0--0---0--- | -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------|



Then, the part played during "We wonder how to keep it, keep it alive, can
you take it if we put it in full overdrive?":

| ------------------|
| ------------------|
| ------------------|
| -3---14---12---14-|
| -3---12---10---12-|
| -3---12---10---12-|


Later on, in the second verse, a similar part is played, but slightly
different. This part is during: "That's your life, and this is mine -
Pretending one minute at a time". Above each chord it says how often it is
strummed. Notice how the second chord is played for longer than before:

 (x8) (x16)  (x8) (x8)
| ---------------------------------------|
| ---------------------------------------|
| ----------------------14-13-12---7-8-9-|
| -3---14------12---7--------------------|
| -3---12------10---5---12-11-10---5-6-7-|
| -3---12------10---5--------------------|


Refrain:

| ---------------------------------------------------------------|
| ---------------------------------------------------------------|
| ------------------------/7-7-7-7-6-5---------------------------|
| -7-6-5-3---3--3-2-1-0----------------7---7----7----7---7---7---|
| -7-6-5-3---3--3-2-1-0---/5-5-5-5-4-3-7---7---10---10---9---9---|
| -7-6-5-3---3--3-2-1-0----------------7---7----7----7---7---7---|


During the calm part:

        (x3)                      (x1)
| -0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--- | -0-0--0-0--0-0--0---|
| -5-5--6-6--8-8--3-3--- | -5-5--6-6--7-7--8---|
| ---------------------- | --------------------|
| ---------------------- | --------------------|
| ---------------------- | --------------------|
| ---------------------- | --------------------|



And then, also during the calm part and singing "pa da da da" etc (this is
definitely incorrect but sounds nice if you play around with it a bit):

| -------------------------------|
| -------------------------------|
| -------------------------------|
| -------17----------14--------9-|
| ----15----------12---------7---|
| -15----------12----------7-----|


At the end of the song, when he is screaming for the last time "Halfway up
is halfway down, halfway up is halfway down!" Strum these notes to the same
rythm as the screaming:

| -----------------------------------|
| -----------------------------------|
| -----------------------------------|
| -7-7-7-7--7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7--7-7-|
| -7-7-9-9-10-10-9-9-7-7-9-9-10-10-7-|
| -7-7-7-7--7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7--7-7-|

...And that's it, hope you enjoy playing this song!
