Transcribed by Joe Hale

I worked on this song some more, and have come up with a 
more accurate transcription. I decided to show how each
part is played rather than just showing the chords. 
Although I showed what notes to play off each chord, they 
may be a little different from the record; I just play the 
notes which I think sound best. At any rate, I have 
included every part of the song(rhythm and lead), and it is 
very accurate.

Pre-chorus:

D1:Guitar 1 x2

e|--5--------3----------2------|

g|-1^×------3---------3-3------1------4------3-------4-----|

Bridge:
(both guitars w/heavy distortion)
E1:Guitar 1 x3

a|--4-2-4-4-2-4-2-2--5-5-5----|
E|--2-0-2-2-0-2-0-0--3-3-3-0--|

After the first bridge, both guitars play something 
similar to the intro. It goes like this:
e|-(0)-------------------(0)-------------------------------|
b|-(0)-------------------(0)-------------------------------|
g|--7--------/11---------\7--------/11---------------------|
d|----(x14)-------(x14)-----(x14)--------------------------|
a|--5---------/9---------\5---------/9---------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
 
The notes in parenthesis indicate notes 
which Guitar 2 randomly plays.

Verse 3:
(both guitars w/tremolo and slight distortion)
Play A3 and B2 two times.

Second Pre-Chorus:

Guitar 1 plays D1 two times again, while Guitar 2 does 
a slight variation of D2 that goes like this:

e|--5--------3----------2----------|
b|--5---5----3-3--------2----------|
g|--6-6---6--4---4-4-4--3----------| 
d|--7-----7--5-----5----4-(4)------|
a|--7--------5----------4---(4)----|
E|--5--------3----------2-----(2)--|

The notes in parenthesis are played on the first time only.

Third Chorus:

Guitar 1 and 2 both play C3 and C4 two times again, 
with heavy distortion(left on for rest of song) and 
no tremolo(left off for rest of song).  


F1:Guitar 1

e|--------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------|
g|--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11/-12-12-12-12\--|
d|--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11/-12-12-12-12\--|
a|---9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9/-10-10-10-10\--|
E|--------------------------------------------| 

F2:Guitar 2
                                 *
e|--------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------|
g|--11-11-x-x-11-11-x-11-11-11/-12-12-12-12\--|
d|--11-11-x-x-11-11-x-11-11-11/-12-12-12-12\--|
a|---9--9-x-x--9--9-x--9--9--9/-10-10-10-10\--|
E|--------------------------------------------|

Play that two times, then play C3(both guitars) 
one time. After that, Guitar 1 plays F2 four 
times while Guitar 2 does this:
                                              *    
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
b|----11-----------12-12--------11-11-------(12)12-12-----|
g|/11~---11~-11/12-12-12-12\11~-------11~-11/12-12-12-----|
d|--------------------------------------------------------|
a|--------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|

*song ends on this note/chord (G)

BTW, Guitar 1 might be clean when Guitar 2 is slightly 
distorted, but I prefer them both distorted.
