We have an official On My Own tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Ok, so. There's no tab around here that is perfect, and I can honestly say that mine will
not be as well. At least, I'll try to give you the most close to what it really sounds.
 
About the tunning, on the 'purevolume' vid, I believe Quinn is using some sort of Open D,
as he uses his pinky finger on 7th fret of the 2nd string, and he needs to get the 3 main
notes for the main riff: D, C# and E.
I'll use Drop D for this tab, as it's easier to tune wherever you are playing this song :)
