This tab is 100% accurate to the way Tim McIlrath plays it. I might be a little off on
the number of strums but that is it. I spent several hours watching live videos to make
sure everything was right. Please enjoy.
This is the intro which I'm sure you've seen just about everywhere.

now for the verse you'll play this

|--5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--|
|---------------------------|
You play that verse and finishing chord bit twice. On the second time the finishing
chord is played a little longer than the first time.
now for the chorus.

x2 (you hang on that last chord a little longer the second time through)
you play the verse again
the chorus the second time is a little bit different. You just hang on the final chord a
bit longer than normal the second time through and it transitions right into the solo.
Listen to the track and you'll get what I mean.
and now the best part. The solo
