It's all done by ear so it might not be 100%, feel free to let me know whats wrong and good etc. EDIT: Edited the main parts to fit with how Josh plays them, and added the different fills.

Structure: Riff Pre-chorus Chorus Riff Bridge Riff Pre-Chorus Chorus Chorus (cont but with silent solo) Riff Solo/Lead: 3:14 This part is a bugger to figure out since it's masked in reverb, delay, wah and god knows what else. So I did what i could, it's pretty much a section you can improv over. As pointed out in the comments is a pentatonic lick and I can't be asked to tab it. Someone else can. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note
