SECOND PART - 4/4 time


Gt. 1 (Jonny) - Jonny plucks these octaves fast with his first and second fingers, and they are played slightly off-beat

G----------13-----12---10--12-----12----12---10-15-10-15--12--------------------------
D----------x------x----x---x------x-----x----x--x--x--x---x---------------------------
A----------11-----10---8---10-----10----10---8--13-8--13--10--------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 It's the Devil's way now...     There is no way         out...



Gt. 2 (Ed) - Ed picks the high and low notes of these octaves alternatively, and adds distortion for the shouty bit

e-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D-----------x------x---x---x-------x-------x--x--x--x-x--x----------------------------
A-----------8------7---4---7-------7-------6--4--8--4-8--7----------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  It's the Devil's way now...     There is no way         out...



Guitars one and two play these patterns throughout the entire second section, up until the last 'PAYING ATTENION'
After the 'Because...', guitar 3 (Thom) joins in with distortion

THIRD PART - Live, Jonny thrashes around with 'that effect' throughout the mental bit (ie. the one heard during the interlude 

in Airbag, where his guitars sounds like the whole thing's falling apart and loads of notes crash together). I've just tabbed 

out the added bits you can hear on the album recording here.

I don't know it looks like you got this out of a tab book......SWEET!!..but anyways you have the right chords but isnt he hitting it more times than just how you tabbhed it out..I dont listen to this song that much but when I play it strumming the chords in the pattern the song goes it sounds better every chord you tabbed out after the paying attention part you just practically hit once then switch chords.

ajdUnknown Date

You've tabbed out the general rhythm wrong. It should be:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
