===== Damn These Vampires =====
Tabbed by ~ETX~

The intro and verses are just varied arpeggios on the chords. 
Here's an example for the first set from intro to the first line of verse:

<code>
    A                              G              F#m
e ----------------------------------------------------------------
G ----------------------------------------------------------------
B --------2-----2---------2-----2--------0-----0------------------
D -----2-----2---------2-----2--------0-----0------------4-----4--
A --0---------------0---------------------------------4-----4-----
E ---------------------------------3---------------2--------------
</code>

And here's a couple of fills:

<code>

Fill 1:
e --------------------
G --2--5--3--2--0-----
B --2--2--2--2--2--2--
D -----------------0--
A --------------------

Fill 2:

A           G
Brave young cowboys
                  F#m
Of the near north side
            D
Mount those bridge rails
         A
Ride all night
            G
Scream when captured
          F#m
Arch your back
         A          E
Let this whole town hear
     D
Your knuckles crack

Sapphire Trans-Am
High beams in vain
Drive wild broncos
Down the plain
Push up to the corner
Where the turbines hiss
Someday we won't
Remember this

           A
Crawl 'til dawn
[Fill 1]        
On my hands and knees
D              A
God damn these vampires
E                        D
For what they've done to me

[Fill 2] x2

Tie those horses
To the post outside
And let those glass doors
Open wide
And in their surface
See two young, savage things
Barely worth
Remembering

Feast like pagans
Never get enough
Sleep like dead men
Wake up like dead men
And when the sun comes
Try not to hate the light
Someday we'll try
To walk upright

Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
God damn these bite marks
Deep in my arteries
Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
God damn these vampires
For what they've done to me 

A G F#m (variation on Fill 2)
A G F#m
A G F#m
A E D
