Tabbed by: homer ali
Email:gundamwing1234@yahoo.com
Tuning:standard (e,a,d,g,b,e)
I wrote this tab because i am truly tired of all the tabs for this song that seem to all
have one mistake or another this (i hope) does not have any, but if there are, please
email them to me so i can fix it.
What you need to play the tune: a good amplifier, guitarist with a distortion pedal.
bassist, dj if you want, and a drummer.
intro: repeat as many times as you want to but make sure that after the drums cut in
that you hit the strings a little harder with the pick to make that different sound
they have in the song.
(no distortion)

A|-6-6----------------9-9-7-7-7-7-7-9----------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
right after the intro, cut into this with distortion (the best way to get the same
sound they have is to raise the distortion and edge (or treble on some amps) on your
amp to the max as well as the volume knob on your guitar itself, the sound on your amp
must not be at the max) this is right when they start singing called now (by me!) mid
distortion.

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
after doing the mid distortion as many times as necessary, go into this (you dont have
to touch anything on your amp or guitar for this sound just hit more strings)and remember
the original beat of the intro and look at the notes that are missing to complete the
beat, in place of those missing notes, let the note before them ring a little longer.
again repeat as necessary.

by the way im 100% sure about the little slide right before they start- it may be
hard to do at first but keep trying and you'll get it.
after you do the last part, on the first time it finishes a little different than the
others as in do this only after the first time you do the heavy distortion.

this part is the tricky part because you have to use a distortion petal right after
the heavy distortion to start of with the original intro then right in the middle of
it go into mid distortion and continue with mid distortion.
after you do the mid distortion a couple of times, do these chords before the 2nd
heavy distortion (this is only after you do the mid distortion after the 1st heavy)

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
now all you have to do after the chords, is to go in to the heavy distortion (remember
the slide!!!) and shut up for a couple of seconds while he does the "go away" part. what
you do though during that is time your beats and slightly hit the strings on your guitar
with your palm- be carefull not to let out ANY notes though. then, right after that you
go back to heavy distortion one more time then do this 4 times palm muted then 4 times
normal to end the song.

A|--2-2------2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-5--I--2--2------------------------------|
E|--2-2------2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2/5--I--0--0------------------------------|
for this song, timing is everything and is perfected by the drums and the bassist. the
bassist, plays the same beat as the drums for the whole song and the lead guitarist
plays what's on this tab getting his ques from the drummer and the bassist. be care
full and keep trying and you'll eventually get it right and when you do, it will be
worth it.
