C |-----------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This the order it is played in. (main riff intro) (5x) (bridge w/ main riff) (3x) (verse) (4x) (chorus) (4x) (main riff interlude) (4x) (verse) (2x) (chorus) (4x) (outro) (10x) 1st Guitar - light distortion. 2nd Guitar - has a Vox amp fuzz sound. 3rd Guitar - has a organ sound and a little reverb on it. And is faintly played in the background. 4th Guitar - same distortion as 1st Guitar. ~ - let ring x - palm mute the notes above the x's. b - bend r - release h - hammer Just listen to the song to understand where all the parts come in at, like the 4th Guitar filler. I tried to explain it best I could, but this is my 1st tab.
