Hi everyone,

Pretty simple tab as it's just three chords.

There are a lot of pulloffs in this song as the chords are played so just do them
how you feel.
They occur mainly on the A and D chords (Though I swear that I hear them on the Bm
too) and generally go..

D A
|--2--3--2--| |--0--0--0--|
|--3--3--3--| |--2--3--2--|
|--2--2--2--| |--2--2--2--|
|--0--0--0--| |--2--2--2--|
|-----------| |--0--0--0--|
|-----------| |-----------|

There is also often a little run up from A to Bm:

|--0------2--|
|--2------3--|
|--2------4--|
|--2------4--|
|--0--0-1-2--|
|------------|
