Chords used:
Em (022000)
C (x32010)
C2 (x35553)
D (xx0232)
D2 (x57775)
D/F (2x0232)
A (x02220)
Am (x02210)
NOTE: What you`ve got in this song is one guitar playing each chord with
distortion, another guitar with a sort of fuzzy, muffled effect picking
the strings separately for each chord, and a third guitar doing the solos
and the fills with heavy distortion. Anyways, the second guitar that`s
picking the strings separately plays an Em7 (022030) while the first
guitar is plays an Em, and the second guitar also plays a Cadd9
(x32030) while the 1st guitar plays the Cs in the song. Listen to the
song to hear the pattern at which the 2nd guitar is picking the strings.
Intro
-----
Tab Key:
b = bend (7b8 means bend the string at the 7th fret to make the note that
the string would make if played at the 8th fret with no bend)
r = release bend
s = slide
/ = a slower slide
h = hammer on
p = pull off
^ = vibrate the note
* = Artificial Harmonic (a.k.a. scream). Done by picking the string and
your index finger brushing against the string at the same time as the
pick.

So what would you say if I said to you

Bring it on home to where we found
My head is like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind, there is no time
