This song rocks. If you listen carefully, there are many little nuances caused by the effects and
but I believe I've got the most I could out of this thing. I hope this is really accurate, but I would definitely
any corrections if you find something.
Enjoy.
Note: Listen to the song for timing and strumming although I will be putting as much detail as I can.

Fill and Bridge: Basically the two parts are of the same riff... But I will lay out the whole bridge, and
can just pick out the riff to use for the Fill and the whole thing to be played at the Bridge. Oh man this
***in' rocks. I might be wrong on the last 2 chords(on the second stave), but the effects kind of put me off track.

But through out the song like I said you'll run into different variations of these fills. I suggest u
where they fit before anything else. Here there are:

You will also run into a lil' variation around 2:58. It goes something like:
