I kept looking around online, and I realized that there is not a lot of tabs
for this song online. And I can guarantee you there are no tabs that are
actually correct! All of the ones online are pretty much copies of each
other, and they all have the wrong chords for the bridge. And none of them
have the notes for the solo or the tabs for the intro and bridge written
out. So, I sat down and worked it out. It took me a while, but I can
guarantee you that this will sound perfect when you play it. If you don't
believe me, play this with the song and then compare it with the other
chords online and you'll see that this one is right. Plus, I have the solo
tabbed out. You can't beat that...

Here you go... Enjoy... And please, leave comments if you have any questions or concerns...

Intro Riff and Verse Riff:

  D (xx0232@1)A (x02220@1) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1)    G (320003@1)A (x02220@1)DE|--------------------3--5----------| (xx0232@1)B|7--5---3-----------3--5-7~--------|

D|7-77--75-5------7-------7~--------|
A|-----------------7----------------|
E|----------------------------------|

The guitarist does a lot of variations on this riff throughout this song,
but this is the basic riff. If you play this the whole way through, no one
will know the difference, but if you really feel the urge you can fill in a
bunch of extras in between and change it up a bit.

If you want, you can switch to this strumming pattern as the song picks up.

Bridge:

This is the bridge as played when picking. This can be done through the
whole song, but if you want to use the strumming pattern, as shown below,
then just use the picking for the first part of the song then switch to
strumming. If you listen to the song, you'll know where to make the switch.
