Dear guitar player: trying to figure this song out intuitively is impossible, because
what may sound like normal power chords and octaves, well, aren't. There's two guitars,
and the chord shapes are pretty unorthodox. The timing of the guitars as implied by the
tab DOES NOT ALWAYS MATCH UP; Listen to the song for the timing. Watch them play it to get
the gist of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haxSHthWsWs
 
 
For the intro, guitar 2 drops the pitch with the whammy bar. If you lack the whammy bar,
just play it as shown.
