Someone emailed me asking me to tab this out for them, so here goes!
Ran into a few issues with this tab. 1: Either they used a guitar with more strings than
mine has, or they tuned the top string to 1 half step above standard (which can damage
strings). So be careful and pay attention to the letters on the left of each tablature.
Whoever is doing the solo should also be doing Guitar #1.
Tuning: Standard (Except High E string is changed to F for Guitar 1)
I'll try to do each part in the order that you hear it.
Intro Riff (Guitar 1):
F|-----------------------|
B|--------10---10---10---|
G|--7/11-(11)-(11)-(11)--|
D|-----------------------| x4

E|-----------------------|
Main Riff: (Guitar 1): Then it quickly goes
F|-----9--9--9------8--8--8---| F|-----9--9--9---8----|

You're Done!
Any questions or corrections, please email me. I did this entirely by ear only 5 minutes
after hearing the song the first time, so go easy on me. :D
