Drop D

D,A,D,G,B,E.

I know for a fact that the tuning and the song is wrong but it sounds good,
so If you see any mistakes or questions please email me. 

Legend:

PM = Palm Mute                
 x = Mute Strings  
 * = Pinch Harmonics

D--0----0-----8-7--0---3---Repeat 4x----I

You can play the natural harmonics if you don't know 
how to play pinch harmonics, but it wouldn't sound rite

D----7-x-9*-8-7--0--3----------------I

D--0---0----8-7--0--3*---------------I

I put the mute in so it sounds a little better. I'm not 
sure about the harmonics but the song sounds like it has it. 
It could have been that i was hearing things that
day. Anyway you don't really have to play it :)
