I have worked out the solo (short, sweet and simple) so I'll put that in too, but it's not perfect, but you should get the idea. Abbreviations I have used: h = hammer on p = pull off b = bend (up to the next note tabbed) eg 5b7 is full bend, finger on fret 5 r = release bend s = slide pm = palm muting /\/\ = vibrato clean guitar e-----|------------------|-----------------|------------------|------ B-----|------------------|-----------------|------------------|------ G-----|------------------|-----------------|------------------|------ D-----|------------------|-----------------|------------------|------ A-----|-8-------8h10-----|-7-------8p5-----|-8-------8h10-----|------ D-0-0-|-----0-0------0-0-|-----0-0-----0-0-|-----0-0------0-0-|------ e-----------------|------------------|-----------------|------------- B-----------------|------------------|-----------------|------------- G-----------------|------------------|-----------------|------------- D-----------------|------------------|-----------------|------------- A-7-------8-------|-8-------8h10-----|-7-------8p5-----|-8-------8h10 D-----0-0-----0-0-|-----0-0------0-0-|-----0-0-----0-0-|-----0-0----- distortion in Eb5 e-----|-----------------|--------------|----------------|------------ B-----|-----------------|--------------|----------------|------------ G-----|-----------------|--------------|----------------|------------ D-----|-----------------|-1------x-x-1-|--------1-1-1-1-|------------ A-----|-7-------3b5r3p0-|-1------x-x-1-|--------1-1-1-1-|------------ D-0-0-|-----0-0---------|-1------x-x-1-|--------1-1-1-1-|------------ pm-| * e------------------|-----------------| B------------------|-----------------| repeat from * G------------------|-----------------| D------------------|-----------------| A-8-------8h10-----|-7-------8p5-----| D-----0-0----------|-----0-0-----0-0-| pm-| pm-| pm-| that is the basic part of the song, there are only 2 other bits, the first comes after the second chorus. I have not tried to indicate timing as it is deliberately played to get out of time with the beat so just leave it to the drummer! ;) Figure A e-------------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------------------- G--------7------------------7b-----------------19b--------19b----19b- D--------7--play 4x------------play 4x------------------------------- A-0--0-0-5-----------0--0-0------------0--0-0-----0--0-0-----0-0----- D-0--0-0-------------0--0-0------------0--0-0-----0--0-0-----0-0----- pm----| pm----| pm----| pm----| pm-| e-------------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------------------- G-play 3(?)x--19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19--19--19--19--19--19------------ D-------------------------------------------------------------------- A-------------------------------------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------------------------------------- next comes the bridge, which is based around a three chord riff, the basic chords are: G2 (2 bars) Em2 (2 bars) Dsus4 (4 bars) the following is an approximate TAB for this part, without the strumming pattern G2 G G2 Em2 Em Em2 D Dsus4 e----------|-------|---------|------|---------|---------------------- B----------|-------|---------|------|---------|---------------------- G----------|-------|---------|------|---------|---repeat this bar --- D--7---7h9-|--9p7--|-4---4h5-|--5p4-|-4---4h5-|---for another-------- A--5---5---|--5----|-2---2---|--2---|-5---5---|------3 bars---------- D--5---5---|--5----|-2---2---|--2---|-0---0---|---------------------- this whole figure goes four or five times, then goes back to the chorus, coming in where the distortion bit starts. It ends with figure A and then just a basic D5 power chord. Now for the solo. This may be a bit off as I'm TABbing this from memory at work. It starts from the second bar of the bridge.
