This is by no means a correct tab, the only thing I'm really certain is correct
is the intro, everything else here should be taken with a grain of salt.
I'm not even certain what the tuning is for this, but the intro at least
can be played in standard, reminds me a bit of the Chop Suey intro from SOAD.
I included the rest of the tab mainly to give a rough idea for anyone else who'd
like to build upon it. I may come back to this at some point and try to polish up
the rest of the song, but would welcome anyone else's constructive criticism!

Verse 2. Same as Verse 1, but this time power chords play under the octave chords.
Rhythm is the same, just straight 8th notes. (not 100% sure on this part)

Chorus. I supect the guitar may be in Drop C or lower here, but if you play
in Drop D you can get most of, with the exception of the palm muted last
Chord ("solely for purchase of profit and power"). Rhythm is again quite
simple, so best to listen to the recording. This is just the chords, not
the rhythm.
