Play the first riff (or most of the first and throw in the second riff to
change it up if you want) for a about 15 seconds, first you'll hear the
bass go then after a few beats Johnny says "here we go.." then you switch
over to intro riff #2..

This riff dosn't have the 2nd guitar behind it, it's just played along with
the bass and then drums for the chord part.




This is the main riff i believe.. This riff leads up to the verse and is
also played after the 1st chorus and as the outro..
Guitar 1 plays this 4 times and guitar 2 comes in with a higher octave of
this after the 2nd time.

I figured out the back-up guitar to the verse and the chorus.. but I still
dont know the main guitar for those riffs.. so i'll post them once i figure
it out. 

This is my first tab so it might not be right, but it sounds close enough
to me..
I havn't figured out the verse or anything else yet but when i do i'll add
on to this.

Enjoy :)   \m/  ( -_-) \m/
