Once again, not the easiest song to tab, this is the version
from the EP and the one they sometimes play live. I think
the album version is in a different key. I freely admit this
is a terrible tab. I'm sure there's a better way...

Picked Intro

	e-
	B-
	G-----7-----6-7
	D---7-----7----
	A-5-----5------
	E-

...or something to that effect...then the drums enter, and
   the base of the D-chord goes:

	A-5-4-2-2-1------
	E-----------6-5-4-

...while still picking the higher part of the figure above
(confused?).  I can't do this properly the way I've just
tabbed it but I presume it can be done using open strings
in a different key/with a capo.

Anyway, then the heavy guitars come in and there's a
descending chord progression along the lines of:

	e------------
	B------------
	G-7-7-4------
	D-7-7-4-8-7-6
	A-5-4-2-8-7-5
	E-------6-5-4


Much furious downstrumming here and hold the B in the middle
for a few beats. 

Ok, and now we get to the verse, which is pretty much the
same as the intro with the same descending base.

Then it goes all scary for a bit and glen mashes his guitar,
I think he uses some fucked up version of a D- chord, my
advice here? Experiment (ie, I don't know).

Then it's business as usual until we get to the chorus which
might be based around:

	D, A, B, G

...in various permutations.

And that's about as far as I've gotten. There is the germ
of the song here somewhere, but it's very incomplete.

When played live Glen uses a capo on 2nd fret although the
recorded version sounds like it's done without a capo,
either way sounds cool. :) 

This tab isn't anywhere near perfect it's just to give you
an idea of how to play the song.

Listen to the cd for strumming patterns and order of riffs.
Any corrections and improvements welcome. 

Tab is relative to capo on 2nd fret, i.e. 3 means 5 etc..

Do this lots a times, muting for the quiet parts.
Listen to the cd and you'll be able to work it out easily enough.
Don't think it's right but it sounds ok.

then

B:--------------| 
G:--------------| 
D:-3--5--3--5---| 
A:-3--5--3--5---| 
E:-1--3--1--3---|

then back to verse.
