Philipp and I both worked on this GREAT song. 
I have two versions of it. The second version is below this one.

Notes:

Intro/Verse – There is a weird effect going on here. Delay or reverb?

Pre-Chorus/Chorus – Octave chords. Listen to song to get it right!

Interlude – clean but palm mute it!

Bridge – palm mute the open chords. 

Other – Just follow the song.
