Hmmm, I saw a few replies for this one already, but here is the tab as far
as I learned it anyway...

Well, that's the first verse and first chorus. The second verse is similar
to the first, but the second chorus goes even more psycho then the first
chorus shown here. The 3 verses of the song are played with a clean
electric sound until a heavily distorted 2nd guitar comes in to dish out
the chorus.

Symbols I used:
/ slide up, \ slide down
{mp} moderate volume
{f} loud
{ff} loud as hell

I hope nobody complains about wasting space... later...
