Your Corrections


what a loooonnnnnnnnggggggg tab. great job though.

The first riff should be played twice.


The second riff should be played twice. If you listen to the opening of the song, the bass doesn't really start for two cycles of the guitar riff.

at the end of the pre-chorus:


G--------------------------------------...


D--------------------------------------...


A--------------------------------------...


E-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2...


its actually:


G--------------------------------------...


D--------------------------------------...


A--------------------------------------...


E-1h2-2-2-1h2-1h2-1h2-2-2-1h2-1h2-1h2-2-2...and the rest is allright

f sharp (9th fret) in verse could be played on the d string (4th fret). just wondering if anyone has seen him play this live. seems a long stretch and you know us bassists like to keep in one position if we can. does anyone else find this more comfortable?





a sharp in chorus (8th fret) could also be played on the g string (3rd fret). this gives it much more clarity and again is much easier fingering.





otherwise a great tab for a great song. thanks to the tabber

Anyone who says this tab is wrong is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOSER

I think that on the intro you play that twice through, and not hold each one out as long.
RockintilldawnRockintilldawn Unknown Date
the intro is played like this:


D)--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11


--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10


A)--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9


and the first part of the first verse is played once
