The third time around is when the F power chord comes in
It''''s the last chord on the chords used above. It''''s played
over the rhythm part with crazy effects and meant to let ring.
Im not gonna tab it but you''''ll know where it is

This continues for the rest of the song...its not just these chords
though..the other riffs are playing as well..use some palm muting
and hit only the top 2-3 strings as well to give that heavy sound.
The whole song is really just a few riffs but it sounds great when
they''''re all played together live.
Never saw it comin''''
Came at me through a red light
Never thought I''''d be there
At the wrong place at the wrong time
I never tried to steal your time
So stranger, don''''t steal mine
Never trusted no one
This is my life don''''t you understand
With your eyes down at the F.M
Tuning out the task at hand
I never tried to steal your time
So stranger, don''''t steal mine
Well I never saw it comin''''
It came at me in a flash of light
And I almost didn''''t make it
In the middle of the night
