Tuning: Standard
this song is around 136bpm, in the key of C#m/Emaj.
the other tab (chords v2) had the chords down pretty good, so i thought i'd throw out
i play the riffs.
the times mark the first occurrence, but the song is very sample based so they appear at
points throughout the song.

easy as that, just power chords. there's distortion and delay which makes it sound awesome.

playing it the first way is easier for me (although it's a stretch on acoustic guitars),
hammering the middle finger on the six and doing some fast alternate picking.
the second way is better if you're planning on capo'ing 7 or you barre it yourself.
if you do use a capo on 7, you can play version 2's chords like so (although they'll be
high):
[A] [Asus4] [D] [E]
in place of
[E] [Esus4] [A] [B]

this is a very high synth that you'll miss if you blink.
it's too soft for me to tab with full confidence, but this works pretty well.
