Key:
because of the effects the lead guitar for the chorus and pre-chorus was hard to figure out so those parts may not be exactly right but they work well for me. u can play this song one fret up and half a step down too but I find this to be easier. Tabbed by: Mike standard tuning ~=let ring \=slide down /=slide up h=hammer on p=pull off
