B------------------|-------------------------|  These last eight chords
G------------------|-------------------------|  are played twice as fast  
D--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|  as the rest of the notes
A--7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-|-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|  in the bar.

E------------------|  Let this last chord ring for a
B------------------|  looooong amount of time with heavy
G----------7~------|  distortion. Ideally it should be
D--0~------9~------|  played with a low C, but I can't be
A--0~------9~------|  bothered. Tune to C G C F A D and 
D--0~------9~------|  transpose up 2 frets if you're picky.

This has to be one of the most powerful songs I know. If you haven't heard it, and for
some reason just felt like looking at this tab, listen to it NOW. Feedback? This tab was
great? This tab was shit? Email me at mad_short_person@hotmail.com. Don't bother sending
viruses or spam, if you do, i'll know you're a sad freak who takes pleasure in pissing
off other people.
