Shoot Em Up Tabs

(ver. 1)
Blue Stahli
Intro/Main Riff:

C |----------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------|
G |----------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------|
D#|----------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------|
A#|-----------7----|-------------7-----|-----------7----|-------------------|
F |-----0-3-0---0--|-0-----0-3-0-------|-----0-3-0---0--|-0-6-0-6-5-0-5-3b--|
A#|-5/7------------|---5/7---------8b--|-5/7------------|-------------------|

The "5/7" is a VERY quick slide, almost unnoticeable, but it's definitely there. 
Also, the first time he plays it, only one guitar is playing it at half volume.

Verse I Riff:

C |--------------------|--------------------5*-|--------------------|-------------------|
G |--------------------|-----------------------|--------------------|-------------------|
D#|--------------------|------------------5*---|--------------------|-------------------|
A#|--------------------|-----------------------|--------------------|-------------------|
F |-0--3--5br--0-0-3-0-|-0--3--5br------0------|-0--3--5br--0-0-3-0-|-0--3--5br------0--|
A#|--------------------|------------5-5--------|--------------------|------------5-5----|

Short and sweet. If you'd prefer to, you can play power chords instead of single notes.

Pre-Chorus:

C |-----------|
G |-----------|
D#|-----------|
A#|--7-7-7-7--|
F |--7-7-7-7--|
A#|--7-7-7-7--|
     . . . .

Play that eight times and you've got your Pre-Chorus. 

Chorus: 

e|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|

D#|-12-14-14-14-14-14-12-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-|--------------------------------------------------|

Basically, he plays this entire thing twice for the first two chorus's and four times for the third chorus.

After the first chorus, play the Main Riff again, then go into Verse II.


Verse II Riff: (almost exactly the same as Verse I but with different harmonics)

C |--------------------|------------------2*-2*-|--------------------|-------------------|
G |--------------------|------------------2*-2*-|--------------------|-------------------|
D#|--------------------|------------------2*-2*-|--------------------|-------------------|
A#|--------------------|------------------------|--------------------|-------------------|
F |-0--3--5br--0-0-3-0-|-0--3--5br------0-------|-0--3--5br--0-0-3-0-|-0--3--5br------0--|
A#|--------------------|------------5-5---------|--------------------|------------5-5----|

After that, he plays the Pre-Chorus again, then goes into the Chorus. Afterwards, he dives into this awesome 
bridge (it's amazing how Blue Stahli bridges and interludes never fail to impress me).

Bridge:

C |-----------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
G |-----------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
D#|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
A#|-0-0------3b-----------------|-0-0------3b--------5-3-0----|-0-0------3b-----------------|
F |-0-0--3h5-----5-3------------|-0-0--3h5-----5-3---------3b-|-0-0--3h5-----5-3------------|
A#|-0-0--------------0-3-5-0-6b-|-0-0--------------0----------|-0-0--------------0-3-5-0-6b-|

--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
-0-0----------------------------|
-0-0----------------------------|
-0-0--3-5-0-5-7-0-7-10-0-10-12\-|

This riff is repeated multiple times.

At the end of the Bridge, the guitars change it up a little, but are heavily messed with (just listen).
This is the closest I can come to recreating the riff with absolutely no weird effects:

C |---------------------15---|
G |---------------------18b--|
D#|--------------------------|
A#|-3-3-x-x-x-x-5-5-x-x------|
F |-3-3-x-x-x-x-5-5-x-x------|
A#|-3-3-x-x-x-x-5-5-x-x------|

Then, after repeating the Chorus four times, we finally end it off with the Main Riff again.
Bret closes the song off with a small variation of the Main Riff:

C |----------------|-------------------|----------------|------------------|----------------|----------------|
G |----------------|-------------------|----------------|------------------|----------------|----------------|
D#|----------------|-------------------|----------------|------------------|----------------|----------------|
A#|-----------7----|-------------7-----|-----------7----|------------------|----------------|----------------|
F |-----0-3-0---0--|-0-----0-3-0-------|-----0-3-0---0--|-0-6-0-6-5-0-5-3b-|-6-0-6-5-0-5-3b-|-6-0-6-5-0-5-3b-|
A#|-5/7------------|---5/7---------8b--|-5/7------------|------------------|----------------|----------------|

I hope this tab helped you! Don't forget to rate and comment as I do greatly appreciate all of that. I'm
planning to tab out most of "The Devil" like I've said before, so if you have any suggestions or want me
to tab out one song off that album before another, then post that in your comment.
