Key:
r = hard palm mute
L = half palm mut
/ = slide up
= slide down
(x) = Harmonics
-for those who don't know, harmonics is
done by putting your finger on the fret
and only pressing down enough to bend the
string slightly. Pick and immediately take
your finger off to get a ringing noise.
* = Just barely pick the note before going to the next,
this is just for strum timing, not sound, this note
shouldn't sound..
pm= normal palm mute.
:| = repeat whole bar.
h = hammer on
Song tuning:
eb
Bb
Gb
Db
Ab
Eb
Okay, let's get right into it. I made the lyrics match up perfectly to where they are played. If a
note comes in the middle of a word, that is how I wrote it. Same with the two guitar parts, you have
no idea how long it took me to make it all line up (and NO other tabber does it.), so be happy,
because it's perfect (and please send me nice comments about it!).
Intro
Note: Begins with an open snare beat. The full and half palm muting notations
apply for the whole chord, not just the root string.

(-----slide slowly.)
Midverse.
Note: Hold your first finger on the A string notes and allow it to ring through each arppegiated chord.
I have marked the timing so you dont get confused on the slide part. Look at this in groups of four notes,
it's just plucked chords.

as picked notes here so it's less confusing.

Second Verse
Note: If you listen close, there are 15 9's(E's) and the last beat is that 7+7 thing that quickly
slides down before hitting the low E, it's so fast you don't have to play it but it looks way cool.

Note:I just play the normal chords but tabbed it like this
for people that wanted the high strings that the recording
does. If you are doing this in a band, another person can
play octaves to geth the same effect, as well.

Wow, that took me two hours. It is kind of long and confusing so if you have ANY
questions please feel free to email me. Corrections are welcome, Though unlikely
(unless you're Jade; or I may have typoed a chord like 335 instead of 355). I love feedback and no one ever sends me any :(
- (I put this on display)
Have Happy playing!
(Tabbed this song today!)
It's all for you.
(Do you like, do you like)
What I've been tabbing?
(Tabbed this song today!)
*It's all for you!*
Fondly,
