Devil in Jersey City Guitar Tablature
Dropped D tuning (DADGBe) 
People seemed to be requesting this tab heaps so i went out on the net and found. The person who tabbed it didn't put his name on it. Credit to whomeever it was. Wasn't me

That lead riff probably isn't right, but that's what i play. Ok, verse gets played 4 times, 
but on the 3rd and 4th times ("scream loud, scream sayonara..."), both guitars play the 
rhythm and it is played without palm muting. 

CHORUS 
====== 
"let's fire it up..." x4

Play it twice. On the second time, leave distortion on for the whole riff. 
The play verse 4x, chorus 2x, and 2nd chorus 2x. 

BRIDGE

Both guitars are played clean. 
guitar 1 (rhythm) x6

D|------------------------------------------------------------------|--7~----5~--| 

The lead guitar comes in after the rhythm plays the riff twice. 

For the outro, when the guy screams "DON'T! LET! THEM! SCARE! YOU!", you play the chords 
from the 2nd half of the second chorus. I probably confused the hell out of you with this 
tab, because a lot of it is just my interpretation of the song and not actually correct. 
But good luck anyway.
