Album:   Adrenaline
Tuning:  Open E

Alright, everybody and their brother knows that every song on
Adrenaline is in Standard.  The other tab on here that is written
in Standard is correct but I hate playing this in Standard.

Therefore I have written this tab in Open E because this is how I
prefer to play it.  The tuning is Open E I believe.  You have to tune
your A and D strings *UP* to B and E.  I use .52 gauge bottom string
and I have no problem tuning up so it shouldn't be too bad.

It should look like this E-B-E-G-B-e.  This way, the bottom strings
ring the same while you can thrash away in a Drop-D style for the chords.
My bandmates and I have agreed that it sounds exactly the same and this
is much more fun to play in my opinion.  So, enjoy!

Notation Key:

v - Downstroke
^ - Upstroke
h - Hammer On
p - Pull Off

 - Slide Down

your pickups and improvise a little.
