Yo!_This_is_a_pretty_easy_song_to_learn,_and_if_you_get_a_couple_mates_over_to 

jam_it_sounds_sick._I’ve_mainly_tabbed_Adam’s_guitar_since_his_is_more_audible._ 

These_guys_deserve_to_be_way_bigger,_got_a_lot_of_time_for_them.

When_Adam_plays_live_he_seems_to_start_playing_an_octave_down_around_the_1:28_mark_–_ 

doesn’t_happen_in_the_recording,_but_you_can_slide_down_to_7th_fret_on_the_B_ 

string_and_carry_it_on_there_if_you_want_to_vary_it_up_a_little:_ 

 
 

Phrase_3

Meanwhile,_Mikey’s_there_in_the_background_tremoloing_away_like_a_madman_ 

somewhere_around_the_15th/14th_fret_on_the_A_string._He’s_pretty_hard_to_hear, 

so_if_you_fancy_playing_that_part_then_just_screw_around_with_it_until_you_ 

find_something_you’re_happy_with.

(y) 

 
 

This_continues_until_about_2:10,_at_which_point_both_Adam_and_Mikey_trail_off_to 

make_room_for_the_bass._And_Adam’s_glorious_accent._ 

 
 

“Retrace,_all_my_steps…” 

e|-------------------------- 

B|-------------------------- 

G|------take_a_break,------- 

D|----------friend---------- 

A|-------------------------- 

E|-------------------------- 

 
 

Post-break,_Adam_seems_to_thrash_away_at_Bm,_A,_and_then_a_descending_series_of_ 

power_chords_following_the_guitar_phrase_until_the_song_winds_down._Again,_it’s 

a_little_hard_to_hear_so_this_is_my_best_approximation: 

 
 

e|-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------- 

B|-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------- 

G|-7-7-7-7-7-7--6-6-6-6-6-6--11-11-11-11-9-7-4- 

D|-9-9-9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7-7-7--11-11-11-11-9-7-4- 

A|-9-9-9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7-7-7--9--9--9--9--7-5-2- 

E|-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------- 

 
 

From_live_videos_I’ve_seen_he_seems_to_play_the_Bm,_A_and_then_play_F#m_followed 

by_G,_with_the_chord_base_on_the_A_string: 

 
 

e|-9--10- 

B|-10-12- 

G|-11-12- 

D|-11-12- 

A|-9--10- 

E|------- 

 
 

Have_a_play_around_and_see_what_sounds_better,_idk 

 
 

Post-break_it_sounds_like_Mikey_plays_some_pitchbends_somewhere,_but_I_haven’t_ 

worked_out_where_(most_likely_following_the_main_guitar_phrase)._After_16_bars_ 

he_starts_tremoloing: 

 
 

Mikey’s_second_bit 

e|--------------------------------------- 

B|-12tr///17tr///10tr///14tr/15tr///17tr- 

G|--------------------------------------- 

D|--------------------------------------- 

A|--------------------------------------- 

E|--------------------------------------- 

 
 

This_continues_until_the_end_of_the_breakdown(?),_where_Adam_starts_playing_the_ 

main_phrase_again_and_Mikey_plays_single_notes: 

 
 

Mikey’s_outro: 

e|-------------------------------- 

B|-12~//17~//10~//14~//15~~//17~~- 

G|-------------------------------- 

D|-------------------------------- 

A|-------------------------------- 

E|-------------------------------- 

 
 

And_that’s_pretty_much_it._Hope_this_helps_anyone_trying_to_learn_it,_was_good_fun_ 

to_tab.
