Lot's of effects here, but pretty simple. Not at all that difficult to play. Heavy
almost all the way through. Spank is played waaaay down in Drop B.

And for the chorus we have...

"I would..." "...try to burn you but I won't"

--5---L--L--5-------5---L--|--L--5--------5--6--5-----|
--5---L--L--5-------5---L--|--L--5--------5--6--5-----|x2
make sure to give a good subtle bend here at the same time as the first "I" and "try" in
lyrics (I^ would try^ to burn you but I won't). Then the chorus goes on to this:
"...it's all your graces, your deadly sins"

|--5---5----------5----|--5----------5----5------|
|--5---5--14------5----|--5--15------5----5--14--|x2
then right back into the main bit of the chorus a final time. It ends on:

Verse 2 plays exactly like the first except the 2nd guitar repeats this riff lots:

For the bridge I'm 90% sure it's something like:

basically a slightly altered version of the overall chorus. And that's pretty much the song.
Hope that's good. Kidneythieves rock
