This although it sounds easy is pretty difficult, as its very very fast.
The main bit in the beggining is too fast for me to play along, although I think that it goes something like this: (only play strings that are held, ie: dont strum)

|--4-4-4---------2-2----4-2--|
The chorus I play with a bar chord, as it sounds just wierd the way that many tab contributions have it written, as I think that the chorus should be playing all of the strings in a strum rather than some power kind chords. these chords are G#m, C#m and D#m

It still sounds slightly off to me, esspecially the A#m part.
Anyone got something better?

Hehe, think you need to strengthen that strumming hand of yours w2dmb 
That intro is right, I just cranked up my Ibanez and jammed along
The chorus sounds pretty right (C#5, G#5, D#5, G#5), though I think you might be right about playing it with barre chords. Something like this?:
-----------------------
-----------------------
--10---5---12---5------
--11---6---13---6------
--11---6---13---6------
---9---4---11---4------
A#m?

A fifth is a powerchord. It's called a fifth because it consists of the root note and the fifth of that note (i.e. the fifth note in the root note's scale) e.g.
-----
-----
-----
-----
--6--
--4--
You can also play it with three notes: the root, the fifth, and the octave of the root (a note which is one octave higher than the root) e.g.
-----
-----
-----
--6--
--6--
--4--
Sorry for the
Seems done to me
