Tuning: Standard 

A spectacular song off of And Then Nothing... and definitely one of my faves from YLT. 
A thing I would say to watch out for is the timing of the chord changes, as the timing  
is different with every verse and Chorus. 

First off, the actual guitar part of the song is a simple one-note riff played  
throughout the whole song: 
|e-------------------| 
|B---1---1---1-1-1---| 
|G-------------------| 
|D-------------------| 
|A-------------------| 
|E-------------------| 

Now here are the chords used in the song: 

   Fmaj7   F     F7    G     C     A     C* 
|e---0-----1-----3-----3-----x-----x-----x----| 
|B---1-----1-----1-----3-----x-----10----12---| 
|G---2-----2-----2-----0-----5-----9-----12---| 
|D---3-----3-----3-----0-----5-----7-----10---| 
|A---3-----3-----x-----2-----3-----x-----x----| 
|E---x-----1-----x-----3-----x-----x-----x----|

If you want to replace Fmaj7 with regular old C (x32010), I think that works fine also. Hope this helps. -George T.
