Tuning:C#,G#,C#,F#,A#,d#
M = mute immediately after playing
~ = let ring
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
h = hammer on
p = pull off
2x = play again before continuing
x = mute
< > = harmonic
this tab may be kind of confusing and although nothing beats listening to
the actual song, this is the order it goes in;
intro
pre-verse
verse
chorus 1
chorus 2
pre-verse
verse
chorus 1
chorus 2
bridge
chorus 2
outro
The noise at the beginning is feedback so i won't tab that.
just face your amp and turn it way up and you will get the same kind of thing.
For these chords at the beginning I find that it sounds best
if you strum up and down instead of just down, but it's up to you.

BRIDGE
on the album she either has some funky effects pedal or else
there are multiple guitar tracks, because it sounds like she plays
the riff on the 3rd string, and some cool harmonic thing on the 4th.
anyway this is how I play it.
