Tuning: Flat tuning (EbAbDbGbBbeb)

**Based of off Nick Van Den Broeke's (nuke126@gmail.com) tab,
changed a few things in the verse and chorus that I think were wrong from watching them live.**
I've seen alot of tabs that are almost right but are off on some parts. Watch them live and watch where his hands are, this is the
most accurate version.

Or you can play the chorus 4 times after the interlude instead of D G5 Bm Asus4, it's how it's played on the CD although he ususally play's
the above during live performances.
