Wow! I hope the entire album rocks like OP and this one do. This song has a heavy dose of Mota in it. It's also tuned down a full step, like Americana.

See? This riff is pure "moticity". Not really that hard to play, though.

And some final notes...
1. I'm not sure that the low D powerchords aren't high D powerchords, so correct me if I'm wrong. In that case the whole damn tab would have to be re-arranged for standard tuning.
2. This song's structure is kinda like AFI's Porphyria, only with the added chorus at the end.
3. I don't have the lyrics, I figured out the quotes.
