B|---------------------------|   This is the bass line played quietly
G|---------------------------|   on guitar, but it will sound just
D|---------------------------|   fine with only the bass playing this 
A|-2-h-4--4-4-4--2--4--4-4-4-|   and the guitar string dampening
E|-0-h-2--2-2-2--0--2--2-2-2-|   (See alternate verse)

e|----------------------------|  This section is a simple octaves idea

G|-11--9-11--12--11-9--11-----|
D|-x---x-x---x---x--x--x---9--|
A|-9---7-9---10--9--7--9---x--|
E|-------------------------7--|

e|---------------------7-------|  This is the hardest part of the
B|---------------------10-(12)-|  chorus, switching from octaves to
G|-11--9-11--12--11-9----------|  a unison bend. Bend up slowly until
D|-x---x-x---x---x--x----------|  the two pitches of note match up
A|-9---7-9---10--9--7----------|
E|-----------------------------|

Key:

h   = hammer-on
x   = string dampening
pm  = palm mute
(n) = bend to fret number (n)
/   = slide up
\   = slide down

This is a fairly challenging and fairly fast song, so it will require a lot
of practice to get it right. Thanks for looking and enjoy.
