Great song and a great band. Easy riff that you can probably figure out by
ear but hopefully this tab can point you in the right direction. Play the
main riff with a little muting. The guitar in the chorus is very hard to
hear so these chords are my best guess, but they seem to work.
Standard Tuning
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
v - vibrato
t - tap (with strumming hand)
x - muted, struck string

Lyrics:
I know your not ready to live
Are you ready to die
Under your skin under your skin under skin
Is a regular guy
You lost your soul
You didn't know
This is a low, this is a low
This is low this is low life
A world where people walk by night
So by day an average man
But night time brings the creature from the can
Sometimes you scream out loud
But there's always safety from the crowd
You're not alone you're not alone you know
This is a low, this is a low, this is a lonely time a lonely time
Its like my skin, turned inside out
And there's no silver here in this cloud
It's like a love that's turning sour
Its letting go
This is a low
