This is a f**king awesome song and the re-recorded one sounds way better than the original.
Anywhoo..

Intro (Dont strain youself!) lol :p
F---------------------|
C---------------------|
G---------------------|
C-00----00----8*--77--|

Main Verse
F--------------------------------------------------------------|
C--------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------------------------|
C-0000000000000000-8888888888888888-77777777-8888-10-10-10-10--|
(Theres no time change or anything, I just wanted them to look like 10s)

Verse Break -
There are two ways to play this. You can either play the root notes - C, G# and G, or
can pull this off, which is much more fun and more challenging -
F-------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
C-------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
G---7-8-7-10-8-7-8---(x2)-|---7-8-7-10-8-7-8----7-8-7-10-8-7-8-10-8-7-8-|
C-00-0-0-0--0-0-0---------|-88-8-8-8--8-8-8---77-7-7-7------------------|

or, alternatively, the way that's in between (difficulty wise), the way it's played on 
record -
F-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
C-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
G--------------------------10-8-7-8-|-----------------------------------|
C-000000000000000000000000---0-0-0--|8888888888888887777777888810101010-|
                                    (Same as the section on the 2nd part
                                     of the verse)

Next Bit (I dunno what the hell this is called!)
F-----------------------------------------------------|
C-----------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------|
C-0000000000000000-8888888888888888-77777777-33333333-|

Play the main verse again after this

Breakdowney part
F--------------------| etc etc
C--------------------|
G--------------------|
C-0*-----------------|
 half way through this there's a bit with high notes on guitar,
no bass in between

Bridge
F-----------------------------------------|
C----3-2-5----3-2-5-----3-2---------5-3-2-|
G-------------------111-----5---000-------|
C-000------000----------------------------|
This bit carries on going when the guitar harmony comes in too, but stops halfway
and reverts back to triplets on the root notes - C, G# and G - again (Just the lower 
as can be heard, in case anyone's not used to Drop C)

Third verse intro
F-------|
C-------|
G-------|
C-0*--0-|

Just play the verse AGAIN!
And then we have the errm, outro thingy, and, again, one of the many parts of this song 
don't know the name of :p
F--------------------------------|
C--------------------------------|
G--------------------------------|
C-00-0-00-88-8-88-77-7-77-55-5-55|
And then just finish with an open C, and playa few through the clean stuff.


Outro section
F------------------| (When The Bass finally enters)
C------------------|
G------------------|
C-0000000000000000-

This bit is a bit strange to hear, but i think this sounds about right and is pretty
to play too. (The root bits are just octaves - optional)
F---------------------------------10-9--------|
C---------3/5-3-2-3-2-------------------------|
G-5---5---------------5--5---5-----------8-7--|
C--000--00----------------000-00-8-----7------|

Anyway, I think you can arrange it yourself :)
Good luck, it's a great song
AS I LAY DYING ARE f**kING METALCORE LEGENDS!
