Check out my cover at www.youtube.com/azimuth457 !
I've sort of lost my touch with writing tabs..it's been ages.
So I've written the exact chords i play but not always the amount each chord is
strummed..and if you watch my video, youll see how i play them.
 
Tuning:Standard
 
Intro1:
e|--x--x---x--x---x--x---x--x---|
B|--10-9---10-9---10-9---10-9---|
G|--9--9---9--9---9--9---9--9---|
D|--7--7---7--7---x--x---x--x---|
A|--0--0---0--0---x--x---7--7---|
E|--x--x---x--x---7--7---x--x---|
 
Intro2:
e|--x-x-x-x-x-x--77-5-55---xx-x-x-7-x-x-x----------------------|
B|--5-5-5-5-5-5--55-5-55---xx-7-x-x-x-7-x----------------------|
G|--6-6-7-6-7-6--66-6-66---77-7-7-7-7-7-7-----777-666-xxx------|
D|--7-7-7-7-7-7--77-7-77---00-0-0-0-0-0-0--x--xxx-xxx-999------|
A|-------------------------xx-x-x-x-x-x-x--5--555-555-555------|
E|-------------------------77-7-7-7-7-7-7--0-(000-000-000)-----|
   Repeat and end here----> <----------------------------------|(this time)
 
Verse1:(say goodbye...)
e|---------------------------|
B|---------------------------|
G|---------------------------|
D|----7---9----11---6--------|
A|---7---9---11----7---------|
E|--5---7---9-----0----------|
 
Verse2:(They were too weak..)
e|---------------------------|
B|---------------------------|
G|---------------------------|
D|--7--9--11--9--------------|
A|--7--9--11--7--------------|
E|--5--7--9---0--------------|
 
Chorus:(So go on...)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--121212121212--11-11111111-9-9---xx-x--x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x--x--x--x--x----|
A|--121212121212--12-12121212-1212--xx-11-12-x-12-x-11-x-11-11-11-11-12-12---|
E|--101010101010--9--9-9-9-9--9-9---00-0--0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0--0--0--0--0----|
This is what they play live..mess around with it a bit and get creative!
Also, if you watch them play live on youtube, they will probably start with this chord
while Joe uses an E-Bow to make cool noises in the background.
 
Intro
Verse2
 
Verse3:(like your father said...)
e|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------|
D|----9-7---9-7----9-7---9-7----9-7---9-7----9-7---9-7---|
A|---7-----7------7-----7------7-----7------7-----7------|
E|--5-----5------7-----7------9-----9------0-----0-------|
   Repeat and end by downstrumming 07xxxx
 
Chorus
Intro2
 
End on: 5776xx
 
And, if you watch them play this live, Joe plays some extra stuff,
i don't remember if it's on the album or not, but here it is;
 
e|---------------------0--0----0---0---------------------------------------|
B|----------------------3--3--------0----------------------------------7+--|
G|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2----2--2/4------1---------------------------------7+--|
D|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-----------2---2-----(repeat first part, then)--7+--|
A|--0-0-0-2-2-0-x-x-x-------------2----2-------------------------------7+--|
E|--------------2-0-2-------------0-----4-0--------------------------------|
 
in other parts of the song, he uses his E bow again, and during the chorus, he sort of
around the vocal melody line.
 
 
| () optional note

Intro2: e|------------------| B|------------------| G|-777-666-xxx------| D|-xxx-xxx-999------| A|-555-555-555------| E|(000-000-000)-----| for intro2, change the D base to an E base (7th fret A-string) and it sounds much better. otherwise, fantastic tab!
