Verse - This parts tricky to tab the rhythm into (tried my best) but it's easy to
pick up if you listen to the song

This part once again was tricky to tab the rhythm into (there are also a couple
alternate ways to play this but this seems to be the easiest) once again just
listen to the song you should naturally play the chords correctly. Also note the
third chord of each bar is more of a quick transition to the fourth.

This next section is a little annoying, there are some chords played but I'm lost
as to what they are exactly (there are also harmonics on the seventh from what I
can hear but I may be nuts), for now have fun with the little bass line thats played
on top, once again listen to the song for the rhythm xD

Once again the verse

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
After you repeat the verse twice play this, each chord is played for 1 bar, tremolo picking
(I'm not writing them in individually but you get the picture) This may even be played behind
the verse...

Bridge - Alright heres my biggest failing I know roughly where the notes are I just
can't seem to ever get this right though, but heres what it is roughly (if you have
this down please email me cause its beginning to frustrate me, the delay seems to be
throwing me off) Other than that its played with a hell of alot of reverb and delay
