Tabbed by: paul

Tuning: standard
Don't really like the guitar pro version, so hopefully this is easier..And yes you
should be slapping throughout the entire song ;/
intro - only time you'll play this part (0:00-0-15)
Play this 32 times.
G|--2-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|0-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
(0:16-0:23) - play twice.
G|-7-7-7-7---5-5------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------5-5------------------------------------------------|
A|5-5-5-5---3-3-------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------3-3-------------------------------------------------|
(0:24-0:38..I'll refer to this again..it's the 'chorus'.
G|-4-4-4-4--5-5--4-5--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

After the chorus you just play this...(0:38-0:41)

A|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------------------------------|

After this there's another chorus (0:56-1:10) But this time instead of
playing the D at the end of the chorus, you alternate between B and G,
like this > (1:10-1:24) This is played twice.
G|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4----------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------------|
A|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------------|
At the (1:25) mark I believe a F# is played...
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4----------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------------------------------------------|

Ok - now the verses again, the (0:41-0:55) part, and the choruses repeat
until the end of the song! Happy playing!
Oh, at (2:33) and (2:55) there is a second rest.
