Legend

Note: He usually uses a piece of foam at the edge of his bridge that mutes the strings
for a nice, old-school tone. So if you want it to sound like him, palm mute the whole thing or
get a piece of foam.
Note: He does slight variations of the same fill on nearly every chorus. Rather than just tabbing the fills
and making you figure out where it goes, I tabbed each chorus
individually and placed each fill in their respective spot.
Note: Tune Down 1/2 Step
Intro:
No bass for first 8 measures

He’s doing something here a dotted quarter note into each measure. I’m not sure what it is. It could be ghost
notes as I have it, or it could be harmonics, or it could be another
instrument. If you listen real close, you’ll hear what I’m talking about. If you don’t want to figure it out,
just play it like every other chorus.
