I've seen many tabs for this song and most of them are wrong. What people don't realize, is
that the song is
tuned down to E# (Half step down from Standard) so most tabs are transcribed a fret
above from what James Dean
Bradfield plays. The solo is also included but it may have one or two notes missing. Enjoy!
h = Hammer on
P = Pull off
/ = Slide
PM = Palm mute
b = Bend note
