Tunning: Drop C (C G C F A D)

Tabbed by: Edd Dawson (All my own work).
This was such a cool song I had to tab it. It's all pretty simple
really, although it's a bit tricky sometimes to get those fast chord
changes in the chorus sounding distinct, especially with a guitar
tuned as low as you need for this song. Enjoy :)
Any comments/corrections to: ma0etd@bath.ac.uk
My notation:
^ means bend.
[PALM MUTED... ...] means palm-mute the notes.
[MUTED] also means palm-mute the notes.
Only reason I used two different symbols for muting is that it looks
neater in some places.
Ok here's the structure:
