E|-10-10-0--8- 8--8-0----------0-6-6-6-6-----------------------| x2

Then, immediately after the second time that's play, Vigilante joins in with

Then the drums and bass join!


(Nick & Vig)

E|-10-10-0--8- 8--8-0----------0-6-6-6-6-----------------------| x4

Then for live concerts, I think Nick is doing this while bending the strings. Not 100% sure on this.

Nicholaus
e|-----------------------------------------------------------| It sounds
B|-----------------------------------------------------------| like it how I
G|-----------------------------------------------------------| do it on my

Then back to the main riff.

E|-10-10-0--8- 8--8-0----------0-6-6-6-6-----------------------| x4

Then Vig and Nick keep playing the main riff, except when playing they play with the
kinda. Don't know if you know what I mean, but you have to listen to it on the song
to get what I mean. Like playing with a little more space between them. Anyways.

They do it that way for

e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------10-10-10---------------------------------|
D|-12-12-0-10-10-10-0-10-10-10-0-8-8-8-8-----------------------|

E|-10-10-0--8- 8--8-0----------0-6-6-6-6-----------------------|

Then back to the normal way
(Nick and Vig)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------10-10-10---------------------------------|
D|-12-12-0-10-10-10-0-10-10-10-0-8-8-8-8-----------------------|

E|-10-10-0--8- 8--8-0----------0-6-6-6-6-----------------------|

Then with the drums again
(Nick and Vig)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------10-10-10---------------------------------|
D|-12-12-0-10-10-10-0-10-10-10-0-8-8-8-8-----------------------|

E|-10-10-0--8- 8--8-0----------0-6-6-6-6-----------------------|

I think they do it more that way during the live stuff though. Anyways, then the chorus!
