Thankyou so much! You have no idea how long ive waited for this :D 5 stars ;D

I think in the end of 'chorus 1' should be something like this (notes in brackets are palm muted): e--------------------------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------------------| G---5-xx-5-xx-5-xx-5--4-------------------4------4-5-4---| D---5-xx-5-xx-5-xx-5--4--7-xxx-5-x-4-x-------------------| A---3-xx-3-xx-3-xx-3--2--5-------------------------------| E------------------------5-------------(3)-(3)(3)--------|

Great tab for an awesome song. The one problem I have witht his tab is the difficulty rating. There is no way this is an intermediate song. It is way to easy.
