For The Boys Chords

   
For the longest time I wanted a tab for this but couldn't find one, so I figured I'd tab 
out for myself.
The intro is played through out the song and i'll put (intro) where it is played. Do 
you want with it.
Enjoy!

Walk down the bass notes on the C at the end of each bar in the verse/chorus. ie. C -> 
-> A, or 3-3-2-0 on the A string.
Slide up the F to a G at the end of the pre-chorus.
The chords in the chorus are palm muted.
The chords in the bridge are all power chords on the A string, slide them up the neck.
