I'm pretty sure I have this 100% right. There's no crazy
distorted solos so you should be able to get through the whole
thing fairly easily. Enjoi!


Tune down 1/2 step:
(low to high) Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb

Intro: (clean)

eb|-x-----x-----x-----x-----|
Bb|-x-----x-----x-----x-----|
Gb|-x-----x-----x-----x-----|
Db|-x-----x-----x-----x-----|
Ab|-x-----x-----x-----x-----|
Eb|-x-----x-----x-----x-----|

Riff A- This strumming pattern isn't totally right but it's
         easy to figure out once you know the chords.

    A                 C         E                 G
