there's 2 guitars playing two different things a lot of the time so ive tabbed them seperately. if you only have one guitarist just play guitar 1's parts and you'll get the man basis of the song.


<intro part 1>
guitar 1 : clean

e---7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--s>--12--12--12----------------------
b---8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--s>--13--13--13----------------------
g---9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--s>--14--14--14----------------------
d--------------------------------------------------------------- (x4)
a---------------------------------------------------------------
e---------------------------------------------------------------

after 2 repeats of the intro. guitar 2 turns on a flanger effect, but doesn't play anything.
the effect carries on as guitar 1 repeats the riff twice more.

this is played over the chord stabs below and then the riff underneath that.

the timing of these chord stabs is quite hard to nail, so listen carefully.
