Mouth For War Tab

   
since the other tab for this is rather confused over the tuning i thought i'd settle it. 
is my first tab so don't kill me if i get it wrong!

^ = pick upwards
/ = slide
< = get louder
x = rest your fingers on the strings for that metally scratch dime gets
~ = vibrato
db = divebomb
* = accent these notes by picking hard and slamming your fingers on the fret then off again

put a capo on the 2nd fret of the G B E A d (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th)strings to make the 
riff easier

there are 6 bits to this tab
1- the pre chorus/intro part 1
2- the chorus /intro part 2 (+ lead in1)
3- the main riff (+ lead in2)
4- the solo's riff (im sorry, I don’t know the solo)
5- the break/outro
6- verse 3 riff


the song goes
