Intro (with slight distortion) note: I believe that Jon doesn't change the
distortion at all but I don't have the right amp or any dis. pedal to find
out.

Chorus
(Guitar and bass share the riff and it's hard to tell if the guitar is playing
the bass notes too because they are octaves so I included bass so you can play
the whole thing all by yourself!) note: keep high notes short and an optional
A5 can be played at the end of the F5* E5* lick instead of hitting the A bass
note

BIG note: Chords with an * after their name means that the chord is to be
played on the A string not the E string.
Even more notes: In the chorus Jon doesn't realy play the 2 on the D
string but why not? Also, the F#5 in the verses may be a G5. Finally, 5
chords are power chords and I prefer to include the octave when playing
this song, but it's up to you.
