[Verse 0:41-1:05]
Here you play both the rhythm and the lead. Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.

[Chorus 1:06-1:28]
"These are the days...that must happen to you."
There are only two chords in the chorus, but the strumming pattern is weird and changes often.
He often strums off time for effect. Listen to the song to see what I mean.

[Bridge 1:55-2:08]
"And so we approach the end, when God judges man's sin."
I'm least confident of this part of the tab. The song definitely consists of multiple guitars. But you can
probably make something out of what I've done here.

[Solo 1 2:14-2:38]
"Yeah the whole world is gonna shake..."
Multiple guitars are layered in the mix, so this is probably only a portion of what's being played. It's also
probably a safe bet to say that he's playing other strings open while playing this. The number of notes here
is approximate.

"These are the days that must happen to you. Stars are aligned for God's chosen few."
As with the previous solo, it's probably a safe bet to say that he's playing other strings open while
playing this. The number of notes here is approximate.

[Verse 3/ Outro 3:28-]
"The city...is ours for the taking..."
I can't figure out exactly what he's doing during this part, so here are three possibilities.
The first is to play what you played for the previous two verses:
E|-00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---|

G|-00-0-0-0---00-000-77-888-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-77-888-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-77-888-000-0---|
D|-00-0-0-0---77-999-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---77-999-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---77-999-00-000-000-0---|
A|-99-101010--00-000-00-000-000-0---99-101010--00-000-00-000-000-0---99-101010--00-000-00-000-000-0---|
E|-00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---99-9-9-9---99-999-99-999-999-9---|
E|-00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0----------|
B|-00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-777-9----------|
G|-00-0-0-0---00-000-77-888-000-0----------|
D|-00-0-0-0---77-999-00-000-000-0----------|
A|-99-101010--00-000-00-000-000-0----------|
E|-77-7-7-7---77-777-77-777-777-7----------|
The second option is to play this with a mixture of furious picking and big messy strumming.
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--44-555-77-999-1111-121212-141414-16---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The third option is to play a variation of the second option where you mirror what you're playing on the
highest D string.
E|--44-555-77-999-1111-121212-141414-16---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--44-555-77-999-1111-121212-141414-16---------------------------------------------------------------------|
