QUESTIONS???

-Feel free to IM


--It had come to my attention that there alot of mother F***ers that
seem to not be able to hear a note of this song. I know this is about
the 10th version submitted, but beleive me. I've been playing for a
long time, and I have studied this song forever. And now i have a,
what i beleive, is a completely correct tab of the song. If it wasn't,
would I have taken the time to draw that heart? I didn't think so...

***********************************************
       BEFORE NOTES!!!   READ!!!
***********************************************
   In order to paly this song correctly, you
need a couple things...

1)Tune your guitars bottome string a little below D
   to A# i believe it is. im not quite certain, 
   I know it's a step below D.
***this is very important because if you dont, you
    can't play the song correctly, trust me***

2)You need some sort of heavy gain, or a fuzz pedal.
  this is nessisary in order to play the chorus and
  solo. in case you're retarded.

3)Even if you play this version, it won't sound exactly
  right. Not only because of the missing bass, but also
  either theres a seccond guitar, or kurt recorded extra
  sounds over the track after they layed it down the
  first time. I'll have the seccond guitar in later.

***---Here is a list of special symbols and notes
      I'll use through out the tab, refer to it
      if you need to---***

/   -   SLIDE, slide from previous note to the next

h   -   HAMMER ON, strongly press your finger on the 
        next note, don't pick

B   -   FULL BEND, bend the string so that the pitch
        is the sound of one fret above your current
        fret. EX)If you full bend on fret 5, the 
                 sound produced will be that of fret
                 6.

b   -   HALF BEND, bend the string so that the pitch
        is the sound of a half fret above your current
        fret. EX)If you half bend on fret 5, the sound
              produced will be that of somewhere in 
              between 5 and 6.

~   -   RING OUT, let the note ring out, even while
        playing new notes.

()  -   LOW NOTE, Don't play notes in parentheses as hard
        as others, pluck soft. Applies to all notes within 
        a set of parenthese. EX)
        ---(6)--7--     or        ---(6---7)-
         LOW^                   BOTH LOW^


***********************************************
       LETS GET TO IT!!!!  
***********************************************
--==--SOME TIPS--==--
-you have my gaurantee that this is a correct tab
-remember, that a# is tuned down below the d, not tuned up.
-Instructions on guitar effects, such as distortion, will 
 appear directly below the part where the effect comes in.
 [An arrow (^) will point to the spot in the tab]
-lyrics apear directly above the line that they are played on
-lyrics that are all jumbled above each other are just that 
 way so i could fit them in.
