     HB = half bend  . = Palm Mute  * - pre-bend note and strum

OK, This is really an amazing song!!! This is the way that they would most
likely play it live. This is based from a Hal and Leonard tab book, but
differs as I have condensed the song to 2 guitars and changed a handful
of things! If you want the whole thing note for note, then go buy the book!
Y'all enjoy! Just updated the PRE-CHORUS! Now everything's dead on!

Guitar 1 - Ben Burnley (rhythm)
