Tab by Hitsu123
Well here it is. Do read the notes before each tab explaining more about them because there
are a lot of differences between the live version and the studio version. I referenced both
to figure out how to play as per usual and have laid out the differences between each.
Anything that wasn't played in the live version was more or less guesswork, but for the
most part everything should be quite accurate to what/where/how they play.
Be sure to check out Jorge Orellana when he makes his video on this song.
[Guitar 1: Nick]

This melody just repeats until the bridge.

[Outro]
The live and studio versions differ here. This first tab is how he seems to play this
part in the studio version.

This nex tab is how he plays it live, so this will be the main tab but refer to above
if you prefer the studio version.

The outro repeats 4 times.
[Guitar 2: Albert]
If you have an ElectroHarmonix Mel9, turn to the flute setting for this guitar.
[Verse]
This repeats for the entirety of the song until the outro.

I decided to tab this out since this guitar is very prominent in the mix, but it's not
played during the live version (so far anyways).
[Verse]
For this, I made an attempt to replicate the repeated notes. Just give it a fairly light palm mute,
and use somewhat quick alternate picking.

[Bridge]
This little jingle is played during the second bridge. Albert's mix seems to get quiet and this one
takes over so if you want to play this live, I'd do it on that guitar.
