Coup D'etat Tabs

(ver. 1)
Refused
This tab was inspired by a really bad tab of this song I found on the 
net. Thanks to Edd "Hotcakes" Dawson for introducing me to Refused and
providing an excellent tabbing style with which to completely rip off 
(sorry!). This is ALL MY OWN WORK so I hope I have the intro right but
criticisms will be ignored unless it is extreme abuse which will amuse 
me. But seriously, send me your comments no matter how trivial!

The song is tabbed in order, but the song structure is summarized at the
end. The timing of the song can be difficult so listen to it to get it 
right. It's an easy song to play, because all the main parts are 
basically the same, but there are subtle differences in the endings and 
transitions of each riff, which gives the song its character, but makes 
it more annoying to learn how to play!


Notation used in this tab:
---------------------------
* = palm mute
h = hammer on
p = pull off
/ = slide down


Song is tabbed in Dropped D tuning, (DADGBe), simply because I found it 
much easier to play that way!
