This song has plenty of weird

play.

P.M.- palm mute

There's a long intro with no 
guitars, just a lot of weird noises 
and drums.

After the bridge, the only part left
 in the song is the 3rd chorus.
Use the chorus riff, but there's 
several pauses that they put in 
there.
Listen to the song to get the 
timing, it's pretty easy. And that's
 it.
