Version 1 Version 2
            Notes:
Pretty cool song - Fcking sick of it after tabbing it out though.

Capo 3-rd fret


   Chords
Bm     | x 2 4 4 3 2 |
D      | x x 0 2 3 2 |
Dsus4  | x x 0 2 3 3 |
G      | 3 2 0 0 3 3 |
Em     | 0 2 2 0 0 0 |

A lot of the time I wrote just Bm D G when actually its played as written below.
(I did this because when i wrote it in, it just cluttered up the tab and put off the timing)
You play the Bm as normal but before going to the D you strike the top 4 strings
open once. You then move to the D hammering on the 3rd fret on the high e a couple
times. Just listen to the song goddamnit!
