Thanks to everyone on the AFI boards who helped getting the problems sorted out. And
to AFI for writing an amazing song (even if it took forever to tab).
Please comment on anything about the tab.
(Lyrics during the last chorus are not confirmed anywhere that I have searched, which is
so they are simply my interpretation).
