Standard tuning - eADGBE

Intro Riff

e|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------3-4-5-5-4-3-2-2-----------------------------|
E|--0-0-3-4-5-5------------------3-4-------------------------|

When the riff is played for a second time after the first chorus palm mute the last 8 notes.

For a more consistent feel use alternate picking through out the intro riff, or just up-picking

Verse
* = palm mute


e|----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------------|   x4
D|-------------------------------7--------------------------------|
A|-------2-0-0-4-0-5-5-----2-2---7--------------------------------|
E|-0-0-3---------------2-2-----5-5--------------------------------|
   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Just use up-picking except for the last A5 chord, where you should just use an aggressive downstroke.

Note: On the last bar (last 4 quarter note beats) do not palm mute

Chorus

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|   x4
G|-------------------7-7-7-7--4-4-4-4--------------------------------|
D|-2-2-2-2--7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7--4-4-4-2--------------------------------|
A|-2-2-2-2--7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5--2-2-2-2--------------------------------|
E|-0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5--------------------------------------------------|

For a harder, more punk sound, use downstrokes.


This is when the main riff is played for the last time, before the solo part

~ = vibrato

Note: Do NOT use wide vibrato

                                                      ~~~~~~
e|------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------|   Let last note ring
D|------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------3-4-5-5-4-3-2-2-------------------3-4-5--------|
E|-0-0-3-4-5-5-----------------3-4---0-0-3-4-5-5--------------|

Solo at the very end of the song

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
bu(2) = Bend string two notes higher
bd(2) = Bend string back down two notes to it's original note
s = Slide

(I think on the actual record the rhythm guitarist plays this)

      s          h  b(2)              bd(2)       h   p
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------
B|----------------------------10-----------------------------------

D|----------7-9-----------------------------------------------7-7--
