i posted a previous tab that i later learned was tabbed out in a key that was a half step to low. I raised the key to E, easier to sing with that's for sure some of the patterns may be off a bit but since the key is right it will sound good if you are a bit more inclined in music theory which you may have to be to play this song, you can compliment this nicely with some solid soloing in C# minor pentatonic anyway, great song from an amazing band
