Ok, I've loved this song forever, and I just saw another one on this site. Once again, like all the other tabs, its off and missing a lot. Here's the full tab, every bit of it, in order for easy reading, and CORRECT!

PLEASE RATE OR COMMENT!!!

In this song there is a lot of fooling around, play with distortion, normal E tuning, and have fun, make up strumming for a good sound.
