TAB legend:
p: pull off
h: hammer on
/: eighth note
x: deaden strings
pm...: palm mute
~: hold note

Well, that's it. I'm 100% positive that the tab is at least 99.9% correct.
It's hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun to
play. The hardest part of the song by far is the cool part of the bridge. The
only thing i'm not 100% sure about is if i got the right fingering for the
bar-chords. You can play regular G and A if they don't sound right to you.
