Tuning: standard
 
This is tabbed out for only one guitar. I don't have this arranged in exact rhythm,
but if you listen to the song it will make sense. My band plays this song and it
sounds really good this way. Add some chorus or slight flange and you're good to go.
 
 
INTRO & 1ST VERSE: (Try and palm mute the open D notes in the "tick-tock" part so as
not to drown out the high D and F notes.)

BRIDGE: (If you're going for accuracy then just play the first part of this over and
over. I just like how moving the notes up the G scale sounds with the bass line. You
can also just play the root notes and it sounds good too. Use a heavy palm mute when
you start and then lighten it up each time you move up the scale.)
