     I have tabbed out all of this song except for some parts of the solo where there are quick descending riffs, reason being that it is really difficult to do so..later on I will try to get more memory on my computer so I can run it through and slow it down, then I will be able to write the exact notes...but until then, this will have to do ;)


Intro:

         There are 2 guitar riffs going on here I think...I think the first guitar could be the Charvel Surfcaster I have heard Mark using, since it sounds very far from a Les Paul.  The Les Paul comes in later.  So I will list what guitar is playing what so you can follow it easier.

Surfcaster: (Comes in first)

E--5--7--10---------------------------
B--5--7--10---13--13-13-13-13-13--   Repeat this 4 times
G--5--7--10---------------------------
D--7--9--12---------------------------
A--7--9--12---------------------------
E--5--7--10--------------------------- 


Les Paul:

        The Les Paul comes in with a bit of distortion on the 4th time that the Surfcaster plays the riff.  After the Les Paul comes in, both guitars play the same riff from here on I think.  There may be some difference in the break before the solo.  But I can't vouch for it, since I didn't write the song.  The new riff played here and throughout the song is pretty easy to play.  I will label it riff 1 for future reference. '/' stands for slide.

Riff 1.

E--10--/--7--7--7-7-7--7-7--                                         --8--
B--10--/--7--7--7-7-7--7-7--   This is repeated 3 times  --8--
G--12--/--9--9--9-9-9--9-9--  and ends on the chord     --8--
D--12--/--9--9--9-9-9--9-9--                                         --10--
A--10--/--7--7--7-7-7--7-7--                                         --10--
E--10--/--7--7--7-7-7--7-7--                                         --8-- 


Repeat Riff 1 throughout until the chorus.

Chorus:

     The chorus is made up of 4 chords played like so.  Listen to the
song for the changes.

E--7----3----5----5--
B--7----3----5----5--
G--7----3----7----5--
D--9----5----7----7--
A--9----5----5----7--
E--7----3----5----5--


Repeat riff 1 and chorus again.

Break:

       The break is the part where it gets pretty mellow, and there is tons of effects on the vocals making it rather hard to hear what it is Dave is singing.  For this part, I am going to write the guitar lines (they are the ones with the distortion, they are under the melody of the lyrics.) all together since I can't explain their place with the words (If anyone knows
the words,  would be happy to do it though)  It is all played on one string.


G-5----0-5--7-6-2------5-----0--5--7-7-6----5---0-5--7-6-2--7-6-2---5---7-6-9--7-6-9-



Solo:

      I tried to tab out the solo note-by-note, but because of the quick riffs played, it is nearly impossible for me to get every note down.  So I have tabbed out the key parts...If I can get more memory in my computer, I can feed it in and slow it down, and try to figure it out..but for now, this should help you out. % is my symbol for bend (?) is where I had trouble with the descending riffs.

B------------------------------------------------------10--8-----
G-------------------------------------------%9--9-11-9------(?)--2--0--
D-%7--7-7-7-9-7-5--(?)---9--7--5--7--5--2--5---------------------------2--2--0--2



Repeat Chorus again.  At the end, use the Surfcaster riff to end it.
