------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Email: egiwolfi [at] yahoo [dot] de TUNING: EADGBe (standard) Strumming not shown, I didn't tab every strum, but you should get the idea. Just listen to the song. Also, this was painful to tab, guitars aren't really in separate speakers, some notes are very hard to hear, etc., so expect mistakes or notes missing. The tab looks harder than it actually is though. Also, lots of annotations, because I'm not certain about some things. TUNING: EADGBe (standard) Intro/Verse

Guitar 1 (the empty low E string might be played along with the E chord, not sure about that)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---8-8--8-8-8--8-8-8-----------13-13--13-13-13--13-13-13-------------|
G|---9-9--9-9-9--9-9-9-----------14-14--14-14-14--14-14-14-------------|

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

As jringo13 pointed out (see comments below), the second chord in this riff seems to be this:

E|------
B|--13--
G|--12--
D|--10--
A|--12--
E|------

Listening to it a couple of times, this makes more sense.

Guitar 2 (joins at 0:25 with their singer)
e|--------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------| the second part is very hard to hear
G|--------------------------------------------| So I guess it's wrong

E|--------------------------------------------|

Bridge 1 ("no pauses, ...) Alright, this part was pretty hard to tab, I even watched some live videos of them playing it. On those videos, I saw that something was played before the 5-3-0 2-0 thing, but I have no idea what it might be, I can't hear it on the record. Also, this is actually played on the G and D string, but without the part before it, it doesn't really matter where you play it...

Guitar 2 (might play more, perhaps the X57XXXX chord, but I can't really tell)
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|--0--------(0)----|
D|--2---0-----2-----|
A|--3---2-----2-----|
E|------3-----0-----|

Chorus 2 (it's the same except for the end)

e|---------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------|
G|--9--7--5-------------4--5--2--5--7----|
D|--9--7--5---7-9-\-5---4--5--2--5--7----|

A|--7--5--3---7-9-\-5---2--3---7-7-5-5---|
E|------------5-7-\-3--------------------|

Also, during the chorus (and at the end) one guitar plays those notes, they weren't that
easy to hear, but in live audio they are much clearer.
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------12--------------|
D|---7-7-9\5-------------10-----7--9-9\5---|
A|---------------------10------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------|

Bridge 2 ("church steps, a vision") Everything here is both guitars, except the part where I mention guitar 1 and 2.

(This time, one, probably clean guitar just slightly picks the notes, the other one just
plays it as before in a more "strummed" way)

Intro/Outro reprise Mind the strumming, it's a lot like the "all these secrets I keep" part.

E|---0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-------------------------------------------------|

End on the E chord of your chosen guitar. Guitar 1 does the strumming noise at the end though.
