|
| Demios - 2005-08-28 | | Could you tab the other guitar too please? I think it's only the octave chords in the chorus, and some odd notes in the verses... |
| ephesians5:14 - 2005-09-16 | DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!

| Anberlin_Rocks - 2006-02-04 | the odd notes in da chorus are:
||-----------------------|----------------------|
||-----------------------|----------------------|
||--10-10-10-9-9-9-------|-10-10-10-9-9-9-------|
||-----------------10-10-|----------------10-10-|
||-----------------------|----------------------|
||-----------------------|----------------------| |
| Adam K - 2006-02-13 | | actually there's 2 guitars. |
| Seffer - 2006-03-15 | | Awesome tab!!! This is one of my most favorite tabs. Could someone help me understand that little bend thing after the first chorus? How do you do a bend? |
| bronxbomber - 2006-05-16 | In case anyone was wondering, the bass intro is basically the same as the chorus. Kinda... Here it is:
A----------[0]-1-[5]-3-
D--0-[2]-3-------------
The notes in the brackets are the shorter fills between the other notes. I couldn't think of an easier way to show it. Just listen to the CD for the changes. |
| Rockhisname - 2006-05-25 | hey guys i play the verse like this VVVVV
g[-7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

| HolyRockJfreak - 2006-08-10 | | you could play it like that but its the wrong note and it sounds too low....the actual note is a F during the verse not a D....but it probably could work... |
| Adam K - 2006-09-07 | During the end of the verses the 2nd guitar plays this
E[-----8------8-----------
B[---6------6----6-5------
G[-7------7----------5----
D[------------------------
A[------------------------
D[------------------------ |
| haste_The_Day - 2007-06-01 | The intro sounds better if you play it like this(This is not the beging of the song)
e------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------ (2x)
D------------------------------------------
A----------88------88----101010--101010--10
D--000-777---000-777--000------00------00--
Those are tens not ones and zeros. |
| RJRuiz - 2007-06-03 | in the begining you have to play
b-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6
g-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5
ther is no three i'v seen the real guitar tabs for this but the rest is okay. i think i'll stick 2 mine. |
