Tabbed by Nic Rizzi
To play this song, you'll need to tune your guitar to drop-d,
and then tune that a WHOLE step down (c,g,c,f,a,d)

Intro:
|--16------------13-------------|
|--------14-------------11------|
|----16-------------13----------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|


This is played twice, then once as a chord, then twice again,
 and then it becomes this:

|--16-----------------16-----13---------------------13----|
|---------14------14-----------------11--------11---------|
|-----16-----16------------------13------13---------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|

Main riff:

|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--11-11-10---11-11-10-8-10-11-10-8-10-8-----------|
|---9--9--8----9--9--8-6--8--9--8-6--8-6-----------|
|--------------------------------------------------|

This riff ends with these three chords:

|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|--4-4-3------------------------|
|--4-4-3------------------------|
|--4-4-3------------------------|

In the middle of the verse, when the guitar comes in,
it plays this:

|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------13----------|
|--10-10-10-10-10-11-11-11-10-----12------------|
|---8--8--8--8--8--9--9--9--8---11--------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|

verse (continued)

|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------15------14--|
|--10-10-10-10-10-11-11-11------14------13-----|
|---8--8--8--8--8--9--9--9----13------12-------|
|----------------------------------------------|

Chorus: Same as main riff

Right after the chorus is another one of my all
 time favorite melodies:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--8-6-8------6-8-6-8-------6-8-8-6-8-------6-8-9-9-9-9-8-6-8-------|
|---------8-10---------8-10-------------8-10------------------------|

After playing this twice, guitar 2 enters with this matching
melody, and plays at the same time:

|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|10-8-10-------8-10-8-10------8-10-10-8-10------8-10-11-11-11-11-10-8-10--|
|---------8-10-----------8-10---------------8-10--------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then, this riff follows:

|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-3-1-3-----1--3-1-3------1h3--3-1-3------1-3-4-4--3-3--------|
|-3-1-3-1h3----3-1-3-1h3-------3-1-3-1h3----3-4-4--3-3--------|
|-3-1-3--------3-1-3-----------3-1-3--------3-4-4--3-3--------|
 |PM.|       |PM  |           |PM |           |PM..........|

You play this once, before you do this:

|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|-3-1-3-----1--3-1-3-----1h3-3-1-3------1-3-4-4-4-4-3-1-3--|
|-3-1-3-1h3----3-1-3-1h3-----3-1-3-1h3----3-4-4-4-4-3-1-3--|
|-3-1-3--------3-1-3---------3-1-3--------3-4-4-4-4-3-1-3--|
 |PM |        |PM |         |PM |          |Palm muted...|

You play this until Rey says: "or this lack of humanity!"
>From then on you play the chorus, and to end the song,
you play the intro.
