Disclaimer: Okay guys, I was tired of this not being tabbed, so I tabbed what I believe is
right, or at least, what sounds right to me. Yes, there are many idiots who don't have any
idea what they are doing trying to 'accurately' transcribe songs, and I may be one of them,
so you be the judge and email me with any suggestions, questions, or hate mail. If you don't
think it sounds right, please make sure that you 1)have tuned properly, and 2)don't suck at
guitar, before telling me that I suck.

Oh yes, and around measure 28 or so, on the album, if you listen carefully, you can hear a
second guitar fill, which is just a close variation of Riff C played half as fast. The rest
of the effects and fills are kind of obvious. This song is great, but I like "Ready For You"
better.
