Drop D Tuning, Down 1 1/2 Steps
B F# B E G# C# 

- = palm mute

I tabbed this using Drop D, then down 1 1/2 steps. I'm not 
sure if the song is actually down 1 1/2 steps. Hopefully
it's right anyway. It's close. For riff 1 and fill 1b use
very heavy palm muting. Listen to the song if you want to 
try and perfect it. At 4:19 the 18th fret on the C# string
is played. I didn't want to tab it, because it's only played
once. Not too hard to figure out though. Listen close.
