Young Hearts Spark Fire Tabs

(ver. 3)

Hey, it's Jeremiah again with a complete tab of Young Hearts Spark Fire.
I figured out the intro by watching them play live.
Still in the process of tabbing the rest, but this should give you a good idea of what 
are doing.
I'm sure this is at least 98.9% correct.

Tuning: Drop D
|e|
|B|
|G|
|D|
|A|
|D|

Okay, so this is how the intro goes like this. There is a lot of barring:

e|-55-5~-5--5|-000~-0000~--55~-|
B|-88-8~-8/77|-888~-7777~--57~-|
G|-77-7~-7--7|-777~-7777~--77~-|
D|-55-5~-5--5|-0XX~-0000~--00~-|
A|-55-5~-5--5|-0XX~-0000~--00~-|
D|-55-5~-5--5|-077~-0000~--00~-|

Then after the songs starts to build-up,
Play the intro like that,
but softly strum the chords you end on in between,
while hitting the chord rhythm in the intro hard.
The verse used these three chords, rhythm is easy:

e|-5--0--0-|
B|-7--8--5-|
G|-7--7--7-|
D|-5--X--0-|
A|-5--X--0-|
D|-5--7--0-|

After playing that a few times, as they go "Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah...!", 
hit the individual chords the same time they say the words. 
Then they will slide down to the lower notes:
*note: they are the 14th, 16th, 17th, and 19th fret.
e|-/X---/X-|
B|-/17--/19|
G|-/16--/19|
D|-/14--/17|
A|-/14--/17|
D|-/14--/17|

Then Slide to these two chords and 
shuffle between them after about 1 or 2 strokes:

e|-/12--10-|
B|-/13--12-|
G|-/12--12-|
D|-/10--10-|
A|-/10--10-|
D|-/10--10-|

Then strum this last chord a bit in the rhythm from the verse:

e|-5-|
B|-7-|
G|-7-|
D|-5-|
A|-5-|
D|-5-|

^ Play that whole chorus part about 4 times

Then again with these chords during the interlude 
("I don't wanna worry about dying, 
I just wanna worry about those Sunshine Girls")

e|-5--0--0-|
B|-7--8--5-|
G|-7--7--7-|
D|-5--X--0-|
A|-5--X--0-|
D|-5--7--0-|

Just switch between them in a kind of weird rhythm.

You play the intro once more, but strike each chord about 1 or 2 times.
After two times of that, play the first part, but end it with this twice.

e|-5-----|
B|---7---|
G|-----7-|
D|-------|
A|-------|
D|-------|

Then start the build up once more.

Basically repeat song, and end on:

e|-0-|
B|-5-|
G|-7-|
D|-0-|
A|-0-|
D|-0-|
