Awesome song and it deserves to be tabbed, so i thought i would
some of it i have done through a collection of bits

Any comments or corrections feel free to email me

:intro:

        Em
e|------7--7-----7--7-----7--------------------------------------------------|
B|------8--8-----8--8-----8--------------------------------------------------|

e|-----------12--------12-12-12----------------------------------------------|
B|----12-15-----15-12-----------15-13-12-------------------12-------12----12-|
G|-12------------------------------------12----12-------------11-12----12----|
D|------------------------------------------14----14-14-12-------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|


For the most of it the rest of the song had little random fills in it,
which I find sound better when imrovised, Try using the Em pentatonic
which is basically around the Em chord shown in the intro
or even just strum Em in varying styles

an example of a fill used:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-7----7------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------9--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
