Notes: Although you could pull this song off with just a clean and 
dirty tone, i strongly recommend having the following effects:
Chorus, Flanger, Wah, Volume (you can use your volume knob).
Adam has layered a few guitars in this song in certain parts but
I have arranged it for one.  In the parts where there are 2 guitars
on the cd, I simply tabbed it how Adam plays it live.  



Song begins with bass intro.  On bar 2 play this:

   Interlude: If you are playing as a band, this whole 
interlude will be very hard to play at first since the 
drums do some pretty insane things, just get used to 
playing it with the cd and eventually you will know where
the beats fall.  Also, notice in the first 13 bars, the 
guitar is not always with the bass.  What happens 
is that essentially the bass and guitar play the same 4
bar pattern 3 times, but the guitar switches meter on the 2nd 
bar of the pattern and the bass switches meter on the 4th bar of
the pattern. So they stay in unison for 2 bars and then are 
slightly shifted from each other in the last 2.  However, 
in the 3rd repetition of the 4 bar pattern, the guitar
and bass will stay off for an extra bar.  Confused yet? 
Read the tab, then listen to the song and you'll see it's
not really that complicated.
