This is a pretty simple song.
Each bar has a palm mute line above it, but you only palm mute the notes with ---|
above them including the one under the |
I refer to specific bars by FIG.[NUMBER] and it continues from the F in FIG to the
| in -------------------------| (and if there is no |, then it means the fig is a
few more bars longer until there is a |)
Standard tuning all the way
Everything's w/ distortion unless told otherwise.
tempo = 140

No matter what you try and do people will try to nit pick. Thanks for the tab and especially the little details about how to play it properly, I wish that more tabs were like this.

^lol at above comments. Great tab, the more detail the better! Although your rules are a pain in the ass and will henceforth be disregarded.
