I'm not 100% how they get the sound for the main riff,
its almost like a real light palm mute but it doesn't really matter if
you don't.

e|-----------5---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------6-------6-----------5-------------------6-------5---8---5-----------|
G|---7-------------------5-------5-----------7-------5-----------------------|
D|-------------------7-------------------8-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------8---------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

B|-----------6-------8---------------6---------------5---8----------7----------|
G|-------7-------------------------------------------------------7-------------|
D|---8-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And this riff isn't really played on guitar at all but in case you want to use it.

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0--3-3-3-3-3---3--5--3-2-0----5-3-2-0---5-3-2-0--------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
(or if you want you can play that same riff starting on the 3rd fret on the B string.)
B|----3--6-6-6-6-6---6-8-6-5-3-etc...----------------------------------------|

Guitar 2 with just a little distortion and a little tremolo, or at least thats what i
like to me.
Play it really light on the 2nd verse and then harder on the 3rd verse.

pretty easy so go nuts.

An amazing song, matched only by a great video too!!!

This is played all the way through the song:

e|-----------5---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------6-------6-----------5-------------------6-------5---8---5-----------|
G|---7-------------------5-------5-----------7-------5-----------------------|
D|-------------------7-------------------8-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------8---------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------6-------6--10---6-------5---8---5-----------5---------------|
B|-----------6-------8---------------6---------------5---8-------------------|
G|-------7-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---8-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Then the chorus uses these barre chords:

Dm 557765
Am 577555
F 133211
C 335553
Bb 113331
Gm 355333
E 022100

In this order

Dm - Am - F - C - Bb - Gm - F - E

Each verse it gets louder and more prominent.

I didn't see any tabs on here for this song, so I thought I would give it a shot. It is
about 100% correct, but let me know if you have any corrections (and comments!!) Hope
guys like it!

A|-13--------------------------------------------------------------12--|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

this repeats throughout the whole song.
and is playable on any guitar, although it would be easier on a cutaway,
as it goes pretty high :)

then at 0:54 the rhythm comes in:

D5 A5 F5 C5 Bb5 A5 G5 F5
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|
G|----7-------------------------------------------|
D|----7-----7-----3-----10----8----7----5-----3---|
A|----5-----7-----3-----10----8----7----5-----3---|
E|----------5-----1-----8-----6----5----3-----1---|

and that's it !

you can listen to the song to get the tempo
I usually play another quick C5 in between the Bb5 and A5 but you don't have to (:
