I watched their performance at an MTV event (forgot the name)years ago. They
played the song with the X-ecutioners.I watched it about 60 times to figure it
out,so I am sure it´s almost 100% correct.

I added another (easier) verse-riff at the end cause the right one is a bit complicated.

I think Linkin Park is one of the Best Bands in the whole world and 
Brad Delson is amazing.

the whole song is distorted
