Firstly I?d just like to say that everybody else who tried to tab this song must be tone deaf because all bollocks. First of all the tuning is drop-d one tone down, so tune to (low to high) C-G-C-F-A-D this is much quicker tune to and is a lot kinder to your guitar and allows the chord voicings on the chorus. As for effects use a thick fuzz on the intro and main riff, for the chorus, if you have a decent you?ll need it now, for those of you who own a boss GT3 use the ?fantasy? setting on bank 71, for the rest of you a mild overdrive and a wah pedal with the polarity down and some chorus (unless of course you have a keyboard player you can play with, in which case don?t bother.
