Officially the song it meant to be in standard tuning, but it is a bit easier to play it in drop D.  So ill 
tab both versions here both are 100% correct.

Since all the opens strings are palm muted the fact that the E has been dropped to D doesnt make 
much difference and it still sounds just as good if not better at Drop D.

Playing Order:

Im Pretty much 100% sure that the amount of times the main riff is to be played is correct, but there 
is a small chance it may be a bit out.
