This is played on piano, but this is a guitar cover. I have added rhythm guitar, this
sound good for a pop/rock version of the song, but this is my own twist to the song. If
want to play it like the original, the lead is exactly the same. Rhythm is best played 
drop D and lead is best played in standard.

Intro (Lead)- both guitar could play this but I think it sound better just one.

When this the intro is played again, I think it sounds best if you play it with both
this time, in my play order list I have put a * where both guitars should play the intro.
Interlude
|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|------4-------9\4--|
|--1h2----1h2-------|
|-------------------|

Probably best to play the interlude with both guitars because haven’t worked out a
guitar for it, but if I do I will update it. If you want to play the original then you only
one guitar anyway or if you want you could always work out you own rhythm. If you find 
that works please let me know.

If you are trying to play my version of the song or are just unsure on the strumming
for the original or have any other problems with playing the song, I plan on setting up a
tutor video after Christmas. I will post the link when I have done it. If you want to 
my version it would be a good idea to check it out to get the strumming right for the
guitar.

NOTE: i listened to NST's screamo version of the song to tab the lead for the chorus
i couldn't hear it properly on the origional, my copy of the song is dodgey. It sound right
with the origional but it may not be 100%.
