The song is very nicely tabbed. No idea why others rated only 3 stars. And for those on a 6string, you can actually still play this song (the seventh string parts can be substituted). To do this, just take what is on the D and G string, play that, and then play 2 frets higher on the C string. So to play G|3 D|3 A|1 You would play C|5 G|3 D|3 It sounds a little fudged, but it works.

In the verse, bridge part and in the 2nd part of intro there ain't any power chords, they are single notes on the A string. In the Chorus part you must use open f and a strings. The power chords in the chorus are with two fingers, not three. The second chord is not A' power chord, he uses ring finger (like in the Replica intro/chorus main riff) This is correct D|------------------------------------------------------------ A|------------------------------------------------------------ F|------------------------------------------------------------ C|------------------------------------------------------------ G|--7-7-7-7-7--7--5-5-x-5-5--7-7-7-7-7--7--3-3-x--5-x--5------ D|--5-5-5-5-5--7--3-3-x-2-2--5-5-5-5-5--7--3-3-x--5-x--3------ A|-----------------------------------------1-1-x--3-x---------
