Verse


Interlude (I’m not too sure about this part)
e|--9----7-|
B|--9----7-| I think they use these chords, so just mess around with them
G|--9----8-| until it sounds right. While guitar 2 does some lead
D|--11---9-| stuff, over C#, with Delay or Reverb.
A|--11---9-|
E|--9----7-|

Chorus x2

Then Guitar 1 plays Intro Riff over and over until the end.
Guitar 2 solos until the end, over C#. I’m not even going to try tabbing it, just
or figure it out yourselves.

The end fades out.
