read the comments i see here.. and i have some comments of my own.. some of you said the intro was wrong. i listened to it. and i concluded that istead of playing and open G. it should be an open B. Except when playing the B5 chord B5 D|-4-| A|-2-| E|---| When its time to play the B5 chord. play with an open G instead of B. 2nd comment. slacker1990aaa, if you say something like 'The song is played with a capo'. it would be nice if you backed up that information. Also. it sounds like the tab is in the correct key. i just started listening to the band. so i wouldnt know much about their previous work.. so ya. i hope i was clear. and this is a pretty good tab. i didnt notice the intro was off untill i read the comments. Thanks antioned!!!

If you listen carefully I'm sure the lead guitar goes like so... [tab]E|----------------| B|----------------| G|-12-9-----------| D|------10-9----9-| A|-----------10---| E|----------------|[/tab]

Awesome tab :) but like some other people have said, I think there are some octaves in the chorus as well as the powerchords. Possibly: E|---------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------| G|-5-------7-------11-----9-------4------| D|-x--x12--x--x9---x--x3--x--x12--x--x10-| A|-3-------5-------9------7-------2------| E|---------------------------------------| And sometimes /I think/ it finishes on: E|---------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------| G|-4-------5-------7------14-------------| D|-x--x3---x--x3---x--x3--x--x3----------| A|-2-------3-------5------12-------------| E|---------------------------------------| If you listen closely you can definitely hear it go up to the 3rd octave on the 9th and 11 frets. Well anyway I'm just guessing, I haven't tabbed anything out before so I'm sorry if I'm wrong. >.
