[INTRO/VERSE RIFF] x5
Breakdown/Outro
This bit's in Drop D, so you could play the whole song in
Drop D (shifting everything on the E (well, D) string up 2 frets) but
I think this part is just played on a different guitar.

Or something like that anyway.
Enjoy, and please rate!
Sweet tab dude. For the Drop D part what I do is quickly tune down the E string whilst the first open fret note rings; this will ONLY work if you can accurately tune to D straight from E.
LONG LIVE THE D!
Thanks for the comment, I reckon it would be quite easy to just de-tune like you said.

Good job on the tab man, very accurate.
