I don't know why a few people are saying that this tab is totally wrong. Most of them must not realize that the song doesn't sound right unless you mute after every chord and play upstrokes instead of downstrokes. Great tab though, it looks like the best one up. And whoever said that the timing isn't right is retarded; it's actually pretty good.
