This will only be my second tab, so if there are any problems,
feel free to E-mail me. Especially if I screwed up the quiet
string parts.

The piano part needs to be drop D, so the whole song
will be listed as being in drop D.

This is the synth part.

e|-------------------------|
B|-------------------------| This riff plays through most
G|-----10------------------| of the beginning.
D|------------10-11-10-----|
A|--8------8---------------|
D|-------------------------|

Here's the piano part.

e|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|

e|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------| You repeat this riff for
D|--------------------------| a while.
A|------------1---1---------|
D|-3-5-6---6---------1--3---|

About 10 second into the song, there's
a quiet string instrument that plays.
It's hard to make out.
Though, the notes on guitar won't ring
out long enough, so you'll probably have
to pick it every once in a while.

e|--11------------------11--11--10--|
B|--13------------------13--11--11--|
G|--13------------------13--10------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|

This is next part comes in about 30 seconds
into the song. It's some string instrument.

e|-8~---6------------------------|
B|----------9--8-----------------|
G|----------------8-------8------|
D|-------------------10~----10-8-|
A|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|

e|-8~-----11-8--15--11-8-----8-11-13-|
B|-----11-----------------11---------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|

Once it hits the around fiddy second,
all the beginning stuff stops.

The really quiet strings change to something
close to this. But again, I'm not positive
on these super quiet strings.

e|---------------------------------|
B|--10-----------9---------8-------| These strings ring out
G|--10-----------9---------8-------| for this entire next part.
D|--10-----------9---------8-------|
A|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|

There's also a bassy part the comes in.
It sounds like it's probably piano, but
it's pretty quiet.  It lasts throughout
this whole next part, so the rhythm is
actually slower than I've tabbed it.

e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|*The song hits the drums
G|----------------------------------| after each note, so that's
D|----------------------------------| what those stars are. But,
A|-5-***-5-***-4***-4***-3***-3***--| you could probably just keep
D|----------------------------------| picking that note.


The synth part stops going, and you play
this instead. (but don't repeat)
It's also played pretty quickly, but
there's a pattern to it.  Again, this
happense after about fiddy seconds.

e|---------10--------------8--------|
B|-10-8-10----10-8-10-8-10---10-8---|
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|

e|---------10--------------12-------|
B|-10-8-10----10-8-10-8-10---10-8---|
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|

e|-------9-----------7--------------|
B|-9-7-9---9-7-9-7-9---9-7----------|
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|

e|-------9-----------11-------------|
B|-9-7-9---9-7-9-7-9----9-7---------|
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|

e|-------8-----------6--------------|
B|-8-6-8---8-6-8-6-8---8-6----------|
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|

e|-------6-----------10-------------|
B|-8-6-8---8-6-8-6-8----8-6---------|
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|

This is the other part that comes in around
the fiddy second mark.

e|-10--8----------------9--11--14--11-|
B|--------11--10-----9----------------|
G|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------|

e|-----8--10--13--10-------------|
B|--8------------------11-8------|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|

Both those previous parts stop at this point.
Now you go into the last bit of the song.
I'll tab them together, but it'd probably sound
better if you use two separate guitars.
At least, the second half sounds better.

e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|--2-22--3-33--2-22----55-44-33----|
D|--2-----3-----2-------5--4--3-----|
A|--0-----1-----0-------3--2--1-----|
D|----------------------------------|

Or, if you want to take advantage of
the drop D tuning, you can play it
this way. Also, this shows how the two
parts are separate - the power chords
being played by one guitar, and the
stuff on the G string by another guitar.

e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|----22----33----22---55--44-22----|
D|--7-----8-----7-----10---9--8-----|
A|--7-----8-----7-----10---9--8-----|
D|--7-----8-----7-----10---9--8-----|

After all this, the song just kinda repeats.
If you wanna get it all down, just listen to
the song; I'm sure you'll be able to figure
out which parts are which. I think I got
basically everything, aside from the percussion.

If you want to play every single part, you'll
probably need about four guitars, but if you wanna
omit the quiet string stuff, you could do it just
fine with three.
