Snakes Tabs

(ver. 1)
Papa Roach
I worked this out by ear, but its very accurate.
Everything's there, listen to the song for an exact order. 
The timing's there mostly. 
(note, there are four beats to a bar, hence 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &)

Drop D tuning, high-low: EBGDAD  

note, 'H' stands for 'hammer on'
eg:

 1     2             
-----|-----------
-----|-----------
-----|-----------
-2H3-|-3H2-------
-2H3-|-3H2-------
-2H3-|-3H2-------

1) Play the E chord with your first finger and hammer onto 
   the F chord with your second.
2) Play the F chord with your second finger and hammer off
   leaving the first on the E chord.
