chorus:
-------
this is the first part with distortion
the chorus is quite easy is just two chords,
these are the chords on the chorus: B-A-B-A-B-A-B-G (then comes solo)
(behind the chords for the chorus, another guitar picks out the chords
as another one strums the chords)
solo part:
----------
behind the solo, he plays these chords (A-G) but you could also play (B-A)
whatever you choose is fine.......
E |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B |--------------------------------------------------------12-12--10--|
G |--11-11--9---11--11--9-----------------------11-11--9--------------|
D |--------------------------9-9--6---9--9--6-------------------------|
A |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E |-------------------------------------|
B |-------------------------------------|
G |--------------------------9--11---9--|
D |--9-9--6---9--9--6----6s9---------9--|
A |-------------------------------------|
E |-------------------------------------|
after the solo (which there is only one) comes parts 2 and parts 3
alternating back and forth for a while..........then everything is
basically combined
you play the alternatina B-A riff over the first parts
this part is the only cryptic part of the song, there doesn't seem
to be a pattren in this part, the below part is played three times
somtimes, or two times sometimes, or even one time....i will try
my best to explain it
listen to see how many times you play this part
E |---------------------|
B |---------------------|
G |--11-13-13-13-13-13--| while playing this part, another guitarist
D |---------------------| (and the bassist) plays a B-chord (or note)
A |--9--11-11-11-11-11--| behind this part
E |--0--0--0--0--0--0---|
this is always played once after the above
E |---------------------------------------|
B |---------------------------------------|
G |--11-13-13--11-11--9--11-11--11-11--9--| for the first three strums
D |---------------------------------------| it is a B-Chord, then an
A |--9--11-11--9--9---7--9--9---9--9---7--| A-chord is played
E |--0--0--0---0--0---0--0--0---0--0---0--|
(B-chord) ( play an A-chord )
oh.......yeah, the do a lot of fill in solos and stuff, you could
use this scale and go crazy with the whole fucking thing and use
your creative skills
the notes are in no particular order
E |-------------------------------------------------9--12--14--|
B |------------------------------------7--9--12--14------------|
G |-----------------------6--9--11--13-------------------------|
D |--------------6--9--11--------------------------------------|
A |--------9--11-----------------------------------------------|
E |--9--12-----------------------------------------------------|

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SPONGE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
