The other Chords Tab on here is almost right, but some of the chords weren't completely
right because there
are a lot of subtle differences in the progressions.
This song is mostly single note or power chord ideas. Especially in the chorus with the
heavy guitar
distortion, it's mostly the bass playing the root of the chord and the guitar playing
some overdriven
chord tones.
