This is a comprehensive tab of the whole song. The timing and chord changes are very unnatural and crazy
in parts, which makes it tricky to play. There's also a lot of triplet action and and rapid tremolo picking.
Hope you enjoy! If you notice any errors, let me know.

Directly after this, pound out these power chords with tremolo picking. It's tricky to count this part out,
but it's mostly triplets. Just follow the rhythm of the band.
