 Play this twice and for the clean bit just play the last line (without the 12p10) and palm-mute.

 There's a lead bit throughout the chorus, but I can't work it out... Any ideas?


 


 For the verse, do the intro with another guitar mirroring on the low C with palm-muting.

 I know it's not perfect, and some of the stretches are impossible standing up, but this
 how i play it...
 I put the tab as intermediate, because mostly it's not too hard!
 Any corrections? (Specifically for the Breakdown and/or Solo) Don't hesitate to
 give a sugggestion!
 Thanks for checking out my tab.
