Wow! I hope the entire album rocks like OP and this one do. This song has a heavy dose of Mota in it. It's also tuned down a full step, like Americana.

See? This riff is pure "moticity". Not really that hard to play, though.

After the second time he lays off the palm muting.
For the bridge end, he plays the last bridge chord with fast palm muting.
After that, it's the first chorus half twice again.

And some final notes...
1. I'm not sure that the low D powerchords aren't high D powerchords, so correct me if I'm wrong. In that case the whole damn tab would have to be re-arranged for standard tuning.
2. This song's structure is kinda like AFI's Porphyria, only with the added chorus at the end.
3. I don't have the lyrics, I figured out the quotes.
