This tab was inspired by a really bad tab of this song I found on the
net. Thanks to Edd "Hotcakes" Dawson for introducing me to Refused and
providing an excellent tabbing style with which to completely rip off
(sorry!). This is ALL MY OWN WORK so I hope I have the intro right but
there may be the odd mistake so email me if there is. Any other
criticisms will be ignored unless it is extreme abuse which will amuse
me. But seriously, send me your comments no matter how trivial!
 
The song is tabbed in order, but the song structure is summarized at the
end. The timing of the song can be difficult so listen to it to get it
right. It's an easy song to play, because all the main parts are
basically the same, but there are subtle differences in the endings and
transitions of each riff, which gives the song its character, but makes
it more annoying to learn how to play!
 

Notation used in this tab:
---------------------------
* = palm mute
h = hammer on
p = pull off
/ = slide down
 

Song is tabbed in Dropped D tuning, (DADGBe), simply because I found it
much easier to play that way! Also, slap the gain on your amp up to the
max
and switch to a humbucker neck position. Don't know much about EQ, but
keep
the bass low. There are no other effects in this song.
