Tuning: EADGBe

There may be some chords SOMEWHERE missing, probably near the end since it becomes hard to
distinguish everything with all of the guitars playing, but I find it okay to play it like this

Read the ending bit before jumping to play the song, I’ve got a note right there :)
Don’t forget to post any comments/suggestions and rate! Have fun

Bridge
All notes are tremolo picked. Repeat a four times
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|-6------/9------\6------------7------------6----|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|
|
e|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|-2------/6------/11------------10------------9----|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|

This enters after two reps (the first notes start a bit before), repeat twice then...
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-17----17----17----16----16----16----14----14----14----14----14----14-------|
G|----16----16----16----16----16----16----14----14----14----14----14----14----|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-13----13----13----13----13----13----12----12----12----12----12----12-------|
G|----14----14----14----14----14----14----13----13----13----13----13----13----|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Then the tremolo-ed notes change, I found it really hard to listen so I’m probably 
just making up notes lol. They sound good though
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|-14------13------11-----------------------13----|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|

D|-2------/9-------7-------------------------9----|

The arpeggio melody on the end has two ways of being played, I first tabbed it like this:
e|-16-----------------16-----------------17-----------------17-------------------|
B|----17-17--------------17-17--------------17-17--------------17-17-------------|
G|----------16-16--------------16-16--------------18-18--------------18-18-------|
D|----------------18-----------------18-----------------19-----------------19----|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-17-----------------17-----------------14-----------------17-------------------|
B|----17-17--------------17-17--------------16-16--------------19-19-------------|
G|----------18-18--------------18-18--------------16-16--------------20-20-------|
D|----------------19-----------------19-----------------16-----------------21----|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

I struggled a bit playing the last two because of the size of the frets...
But two weeks ago when I saw them play it live I think all of the arpeggios (or at least some of them)
were played this way:
e|-16-----------------16-----------------17-----------------17-------------------|
B|----17-17-12-12--------17-17-12-12--------17-17-14-14--------17-17-14-14-------|
G|----------------13-----------------13-----------------14-----------------14----|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-17-----------------17-----------------14-----------------17-------------------|
B|----17-17-14-14--------17-17-14-14--------16-16-12-12--------19-19-16-16-------|
G|----------------14-----------------14-----------------11-----------------16----|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

I prefer playing it combined, I only use the second option for the last two arpeggios
