Tuning: standard
 
this is mostly my own work and experimentation with the song, im pretty sure its 100%
apart from the intro, e-mail me if you think otherwise
 
  palm mute the entire intro
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0-2-2-2-2--0-2-2-2-2--0-2-2-2-2--then------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------|

  main riff

these riffs are continually repeated one after the other untill the chorus,
 
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-11-12-12-12-12-12-11-14--9-11-12-12-12-12-12-12-11-7-4-12-11-7-4----|

B|---------------------------------|
G|-12-11-7-4-12-11-7-4-12-11-------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
 
the chorus can be played on any string, as long as the notes are the same, an
that sounds pretty awesome would be this,
 
e|-12-14--15--15--15--15--15--14--17--12-14--15--15--15--15--15--15--14--|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|-7--4--12--11--7--4--12--11--7--4--12--11--7--4--12--11----|
