Transcribed BY: Chris McGuire This is how I play it. I got the chorus from Andrew Prefontaine's Tab i just put in the opening riffs. You have to listen to the album to get the rythm and timing right.

The previous tabs of it were pretty close but not quite on the mark. I won't post lyrics with this tab because there seems to be a big stink about it if you do. It's pretty simple, and believe it or not repetitive Use your own beat style. I only wrote it like this so it would be easy to understand the dsus4 d dsus4 d part. standard tuning Verse: D F?
