That Spells DNA/Tabs
Chords
by suuuupaadave, based on chord transcription by zuff
This is the revised version of Zuff's tab which fixes timing and chord names. Also included are some tabs of the intro chords as well as a chord figure in the bridge that may be confusing when written out. I included chord spellings below for all chords that do not appear in the tabs below. Also, "p.m." stands for "palm mute" where you rest your palm next to the bridge on the strings while you strum to give them a slightly dampened sound.

Tabs by suuuupaadave
I've tabbed out both guitars and adjusted the playing positions so you don't have to skip around as much. This is another one that I might want to do a mini lesson on if anyone feels like they want it. There are a lot of cool subtle articulations that I love about this one.
