I'm 90% sure that this is the correct tab although the amount of 
times you play each chord/note might be wrong as I haven't got 
the song I tabbed it from memory.  Sorry if it's wrong but this is my first tab. 
P.S. This song rocks. 
Intro:
On intro play all on the upstroke and don't let notes ring.
