Chords

This tab is mostly for the lead guitar and chords though other parts are included if I they were necessary. Some of the notes I've tabbed are not played in the repeats. You'll have to listen to know which. Also this song is very syncopated so the rhythm is hard to show. It's easy enough to out from the song though.

Verse 3 is similar to the other verse but with a few modifications (i.e. another guitar but it fades out anyway so it doesn't matter.
