Just about 100% on this one.  I just heard it for the first time today and desperately

-Verse 1-

*Take Note*  Skiba briefly plays the B power chord before switching to the G# note,
I've tabbed out.  It's just two strokes, but I didn't want anyone to get confused by it.
a quick strum and then onto the G#; you can hardly notice it's there.

Looooooooooooooooong           And they sing...

-Chorus-
*Note* for the second E you see below, I prefer to add the open E-string.  It's really
a preference, but it sound much better in my opinion.  If you really want, you can just
a low E with the root on the E rather than the A, but in the album it sounds as though 
plays the higher of the two.  Also note that the second time through, the E changes to a C#.

End chorus with:

---2---|

It is imperative that you include those top three notes on the G, B, and high E strings.
Playing those strings turns the chord from an E power chord to an E minor bar chord
not a bar chord, since it's on an open string and there's no bar included, but it's in 
same shape as any other E string minor bar chord).  Playing your E power chord and
to a minor provides a huge difference, as you can tell from this track.
