* This part is repeated through pretty
   much the whole song. The only change
   to the rhythm is the breakdown at
    the end of the song. It's just a G#m
    repeated real chunky amd palm-muted.

* Now the lead is really cool sonuding
   and pretty fun to play, you just have
   to get the rhythm down. You can alternate
   the 1 and the 4 in parenthesis at the end
    just for variation.

* There is also another part I notice 
   no one ever tabs. During the second
   verse there is a quiet harmonic guitar
   arrpegiating in the background.

* If you want to throw in a neat solo or 
   something just for fun, I suggest G#m
   pentatonic with some blues notes. Here 
   it is for those of you who don't know it.
