(lightly touch your fingure over the indicated fret and pick the note) #~ = give the indicated note a slight wammy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Play the first riff (or most of the first and throw in the second riff to change it up if you want) for a about 15 seconds, first you'll hear the bass go then after a few beats Johnny says "here we go.." then you switch over to intro riff #2..

This is the main riff i believe.. This riff leads up to the verse and is also played after the 1st chorus and as the outro.. Guitar 1 plays this 4 times and guitar 2 comes in with a higher octave of this after the 2nd time. MAIN RIFF.

This is my first tab so it might not be right, but it sounds close enough to me.. I havn't figured out the verse or anything else yet but when i do i'll add on to this. Enjoy :) \m/ ( -_-) \m/
