I can't seem to get them down. Maybe if I had better speakers with better high-end, but I
So if you've got it figured out, e-mail me and I'll throw it in the tab.

A couple corrections I noticed after posting...
On the second *Pre-Chorus* section the Guitar II part isn't palm
muted.
And at the bridge, the first section of the Guitar II part should be A--9-9-9-9-9-9-9h10p9----|
All I've
noticed so far. Any more corrections please submit. Thanks!
