This is a really high energy song and it’s a lot of fun to play.  Despite what the other tabbers think, it’s 
impossible to play it with a 4-string because there’s a lot of low A’s in it.  This song is tabbed out in 
drop A tuning.  Enjoy!

Here’s the intro riff...it gets used many times in the song:                  
                                                                                          (X=quickly mute string, ///=slide)
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A---66X--6-44-6---66X--6-44-6---66X--6-44-6---66X--6-44-6----------------------------------------

Verse riff  (2X)                                                            
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------2--4-----------2///7-------------2--4-----------2///9--------------------------------------------
A---66X--6--------66X--6-------------66X--6---------66X--6--------------------------------------------------

Chorus:  (2X)                             (When playing octaves let both A strings ring together.)
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A---2------0---00----0-------2-------0---00-----0-----------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-----2--0---0----00-----------2--0---0-----00--------------------------------------------------------------

Back to intro riff then verse riff then back to chorus and intro again.  That is followed by this bridge:

(4X  Accept the 4th time just let the 6 ring out instead of going back into it again.)
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A---2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4--66X-6-44-6-66X-6-446--------------------------------------------------

After that it goes through the intro riff and the chorus again then it does this for 4 measures:

G----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A---66--666--666--66--66--666--666--66--66--666--666--66--66--666--666--66-------------------

The song ends with the intro riff being played 2X.
