This is indeed all correct, although the intro really sounds much better just playing the open chord E and then just adding the two on the G string. Other than that, this tab is very well writen. It looks like you put a lot of time and effort into it. Very nice job.
I agree with Greenfinger182. I believe Matt plays an open E.
I saw this song transcribed about a couple years ago on a different website when Good Mourning was released, and whoever did the tab, just gave the chords.
I'm giving you credit for taking the time to sit down and neatly tab out the song in order, instead of just giving the chords. Not that there's a problem with giving just the chords, it's just easier for most people to play from a tab like yours.
Good job
AMAZING tab, mate! doubt there's any wrong note on this one.
Who cares where Matt Skiba plays it, if it sounds right, it's fine with me
