Tabbed by: Kiefermatot

Tuning: Standard - (EBGDAE)
For me, this was a hard song to tab out. In the verse, while guitar 2 is playing..guitar
1 is palm muting a riff. You have to hold the speaker up to your ear to hear it, because
it's hard to hear. Anyway, if it's wrong..please correct me. I have no clue if it's right
or not. But the rest of the song, I'm almost positive is right.
I am also un sure about what each guitar plays, so could you please leave a comment or
e-mail me with corrections.
