Tuning: Standard

Intro & Verse 1 Guitar 1: There are tons of ways to play this (on different strings), 
                          this is the one that I found the easiest to play fast.

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 2 comes in playing the same thing but with more overdrive after guitar 1 plays the 
intro once. It plays the intro X6. Drums come in after guitar 1 plays intro X2 and
 vocals come in after guitar 1 plays intro X4.

Verse 2 Guitar 1 & 2: virtually the same as intro but with a power chord at the 
                      start once and the end once. Observe:

   bar                                     at the gay   bar

Solo 1 Guitar 2: More complicated. There are many ways to play this as well. 
                 This way was by far the easiest to play at speed and the 
                 easiest to add in any bends that you may want to play.
