I'm pretty sure this is 100% accurate. If you find any problems
please e-mail me and let me know. I try to show the rhythm in the
tab, but sometimes that comes out kinda funny. It's really easy
if you listen to the song, though. All the fret numbers are single
digit, so if you see A--11--- it's meant to be one-one, not eleven.
Anyways, enough of this, and on to the song!
Intro:
Let the guitars have their fun for a little while, and then come in
after the fourth time they play that little riff (I think the time
is 0:13). Then the bass comes in...
G-----------------------
D--------------^8-------
A--666-6-3-33----------- x4
E-----------------------
Then kick on your overdrive and come in hard with...
G-----------------------
D--888-8-5-55--^8-------
A--666-6-3-33----------- x4
E-----------------------
Verse:
Ease off a little bit, but keep your overdrive going and play this...
G----------------------
D----------------------
A--666-6-3-33-3-------- x8
E----------------------
When you get to "Come on freaks let's go!" play...
G---------------
D---------------
A------------11- x3 (Then hold what I think is a C, but I'm not 100% on that)
E-333-3-1-11----
Chorus:
G----------------------
D----------------------
A------6666----3333---- x3
E--1111----4444--------
G----------------------
D----------------------
A----------------------
E--4444-3333-1111------
Then you go back to...
G-----------------------
D--888-8-5-55--^8-------
A--666-6-3-33----------- x4
E-----------------------
Go through the verse again, and then on "And we're not gonna leave" go into...
G-----------------------
D-----------------------
A--5555-5555-1111------- x2
E-----------------3333--
Now it's back to the chorus and that little intro thing, then there's
no bass until the guitar solo. For that you play the very first intro
part with no overdrive. Then you just play the "And we're not gonna
leave" part twice, then the chorus twice, and finally the second intro
part four times. See? Easy!
