I just figured out this song ... It is NOT as hard as it sounds. Not nearly. Just
don't play it with too much distortion, and you'll be fine.

Just play that as needed ... Listen to the song for the rythym, it's very distinctive.

This is returned to throughout the song, and doesn't have to be played perfect.
You don't have to always palm mute the open E, etc. I find that this song sounds
pretty good if it's played a bit sloppily.

There is a lot of palm muting in the chorus. During the parts where Kat is singing,
it's hard to tell what's going on with the guitar - Just let it ring, or pick the
fifth fret on E a bit; It sounds fine.

That's 3/4 of it ... The last bit you can improvise - Just play some notes going
downward from 16 on D till you get to 9 on A.
That's the whole song! This site needed some more Babes tabs, so here's my ten cents,
my two cents is free :)
