This song rocks pretty hard. It gets its big sound via use of an alternate
tuning. I tune my guitar F#-F#(in unison)-C#-B-C#-E; Ani I think tunes
E-E-B-A-B-D and capos at the second fret. But since you might not have A
capo (like me), I'll do the tab for the way I tune my guitar:
F# D C#D C# A G# C# A
|-------------------------|-----------------------|
|-------------------------|-----------------------|
|-------------------------|-----------------------|
|---x--0---8--8-8-7h8p7---| ----x-3--2-2-2s7--3---|
|---x--0---8--8-8-7h8p7---| ----x-3--2-2-2s7--3---|
| -0-0-0---8--8-8-7h8p7---|---3-3-3--2-2-2s7--3---|
So most of the time you're just basically playing a big fat power chord,
with a doubled root note. Accent the D and G# chords by raking on the open
top two or three strings, right before "3" beat. (This is approximately a
sixteenth-note triplet before the actual "3" beat. Listen to the recording
for this, though, it's too beautifully subtle to properly notate.)
For the chorus part, use this 4-chord ascending progression:
F# A C# D (This will
mean playing the bottom strings open, then on the third, seventh, and
eighth frets.)
The rhythm stabs right after the choruses are played on the D chord. Add
the open top strings here again.
