Ok this is my first tab. Sweet song, not too difficult, there are probably 
more open E's in the riffs and you are obviously entitled to throw them in 
as and when. I've tried to space it out nicely to make it easier to read, I 
thought some of the other tabs for this song were a bit squashed.
Listen to the song for proper rhythms and timing, I'm not aiming for 
perfection here!

this riff continues in the pattern (incase I didnt make it clear it does a 
powerchord rise up the fretboard twice and then back down twice)
The lyrics for the rest of this section are:

So if I were to just lay in silence
And see if you would take control
The stones below me would make me combat them
And they would wrestle me, pester me, mess with me
Just trying to free your soul

Now you play the chorus twice through, however on the first time you only
play the G A E section once. On the second time through, you play it four 
times.
Well that's the song over, mail me any suggestions, comments, money :P 
jokes I don't want a lawsuit on my backside.
