okay thats the whole song. I've been playing guitar for a month and i can play this song really good so it's an easy song. if you want any more soad tabs from the toxicity cd e-mail me at sk8medium@aol.com. Or if anyone has the tab book for soad's first cd please e-mail me your address.
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
This tab is a corrected version of version 3 i figured out the verse was wrong so here is the right version.
Tuning for song is:
D
A
F
C
G
C
I'm not quite sure about the verse, it sounds good to me though.
End:
D:----------------------------------
A:----------------------------------
F:----------------------------------
C:-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0
G:-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
C:---------------------------------0
"oh baby, you and me..."
Some small parts are left out but it's just repeating some parts i've already put so just listen to the song and you'll get it.
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
I am re-submitting this tab due to incorrect tuning on the first one.
Thanks.

*note* the waiting time in the intro is very tricky - I won't assure that it's 100% correct, but this is my best suggestion, and I won't exclude that it may be the band's common feeling!
