A--0-(2)--------0-(2)--------0-(2)--------------------------|
D--0h-2---------0h-2---------0h-2---------------------------| (lots of times)

Fill (Guitar 2):

Goes in almost the same time after the 5th time the main riff is played, like this:

E-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-----------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------| (lots of times)


The song is all about this untill 3:20 aprox in the video, so Guitar 2 is a bit
different, just the rythm.
Same note. Guitar 1 stays the same:

Main Riff (Guitar 1) (lots of times)

Fill (Guitar 2):

E-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-x-x-x-x-x---x-x-x-x-x---x-x-x-x-x-------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------| (lots of times)


Something like this, whatever sounds good to you.

(Chorus, Guitar 1):


E-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D--12-12-122--/12-12-12-12-12/2----------------------------|
A--12-12-122--/12-12-12-12-12/2----------------------------|
D--12-12-122--/12-12-12-12-12/2----------------------------| (a few times)

You slide to the E power chord (2-2-2), hold it for a bit, then slide back to the D
power chord (12-12-12)

After the last scream:

(Guitar 2):
+ + +
E-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------7-7-7-----|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------|

Instead of +7 (harmonic), you can slide with your pick in the E, B and G strings to do that
''tinky'' sound.

Then, back to the Main Riff with Guitar 1 and Fill with Guitar 2, in another rythm (yes,
there's 3 rythms now for that thing), so,

same thing:

Main Riff (Guitar 1) (lots of times)


Fill (Guitar 2):

E-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-xxxxx---xxxxx---xxxxx-------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------| (lots of times)

Something like that on Guitar 2, you can get the rythm by ear.

In 4:20, starts in Guitar 2 another fill, it goes like this:

Fill (Guitar 2):

E-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-(1)-(0)-(0)*----------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------| (a few times)

*Be soft here, the note must be played almost by its entirety, but just ALMOST. Not pm,
not played open string, in the middle of

it.
**You can use some kind of delay/chorus effect here.

Then Main Riff (Guitar 1) playing lots of times again.

Then (Chorus)

At 05:08, there's a little fill that goes like this:

Fill (Guitar 2):

E-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-(2)-(2)-(2)-(2)-(2)-(2)-(2)*-(3)-(3)-(3)-(3/2)------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------|

*You can use some kind of delay/chorus effect here.
**Be soft here, the note must be played almost by its entirety, but just ALMOST. Not pm,

Then chorus again, and in the end, same Fill with (Guitar 2), and that noise in the end
you can do with your pick in the G, D and A

strings. Or:

E-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-0-1*------------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------|

*With some cranky noisy effect or something like that.
**Or with whammy bar (real quickly)

This is my first tab, so sorry if I messed up anything real big.
Thank you.
