Verse pt 1: (Palm Muted)(acoustic)

A[-22222222222222-5555555-7777777-]
E[------------------------------------]

Then Repeat "Verse pt 1" but instead of doing it 6 times, you do it 5 times.
After that, play "Verse pt 2" again.

CHORUS: (Un-muted)(Distorted)
e[-----------------------------------------------------------------]
B[-------------------------------------------------5---5-----------]
G[-------------------------------------------------6---6---7---7---]
D[-4---4---4---4---7---7---7---7---2---2---2---2---6---6---7---7---]X2
A[-4---4---4---4---7---7---7---7---2---2---2---2---4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-]
E[-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------]

Please note that this may seem fast paced, but it goes slow with the drummer. The full
are played in the full-beats, the single notes are played in the half-beats.

6 seconds after the chorus start playing the verse again.

Play "Verse pt 1"
then
Play "Verse pt 2"
then
Play the chorus tab above (ignore the X2) 6 times, this will bring you to the end of the
you then play

Outro: (clean)
e[-4--4--5--4----]   e[-4--4--5--4-----------------4--4-]
B[-------------5-]   B[-------------7----6--6----7------]
G[---------------]X2 G[---------------------------------]
D[---------------]   D[---------------------------------]
A[---------------]   A[---------------------------------]
E[---------------]   E[---------------------------------]

Repeat the whole outro 3-4 times, depending if you're doing live version or CD version.

And that's it! I hope you all enjoy playing it.

Ja Mata!
