This song is one of my favorites, it has a really high-energy, upbeat sound to it. I
there were no tabs for it on this site, so I made my own, because this is a really fun
to play. It's not hard either, except in the pre-chorus after the bridge where you get
tremolo picking a tough riff that requires you to stretch out like 5 frets, but it will
fall in place with some practice.
I put the tab into 2 guitar parts: the rhythm and lead guitars. I think that the lead
be harmonized, but I find it easier to play it this way, at least to learn the song.
Guitar 1 (rhythm)

tub sucks, still rate it anyway. I don't mind. Most of all, have fun. This song rules.
