I've gotten LOTS of requests for it over the last few months and I know I'm really late in tabbing this. Don't request 'Broken Home', I've tried to tab it and it didn't work out. When I downloaded this from Napster there seemed to be two versions of the song, one was 3 min 39 seconds and the other one was 4 min 58 seconds. Maybe the shorter one is a radio edit or something. Anyway, I downloaded the shorter version, so if you think something's missing, there are too few verses or choruses or something, then this is probably the reason. The star chords (E* D* etc.) are really the same chords as the normal E5 and D5 but they have an extra 5th on the bottom which makes them sound really cool. Whenever you play the star chords in the song they're played like this: E* D* C* B* D* E|------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------| G|---9-9-------7-7-------5-5-------4-4---7--| D|---9-9-------7-7-------5-5-------4-4---7--| A|---7-7-------5-5-------3-3-------2-2---5--| E|---7-7-------5-5-------3-3-------2-2---5--| Then there's the main riff in the song. I call it RIFF 1 and RIFF 1B. RIFF 1B is the same as RIFF 1 except at the end you start strumming chords. RIFF 1B is what comes at the end of the verses. Learn these two riffs well before you start playing the song. RIFF 1: ------- E5 D5 C5 E|---------------------------------------------------------------- B|---------------------------------------------------------------- G|---------------------------------------------------------------- D|-------------9--------------------9-------------------9--------- A|-----10-9-10---10-9-10----10-9-10---10-9-10---10-9-10---10-9-10- E|--12-------------------10-------------------8------------------- B5 D5 E-----------------------| B-----------------------| G-----------------------| D------------9----------| A----10-9-10---10-9-10--| E--7--------------------| T16Skyhopper88@aol.com emailed me with a different version of the main riff. I personally think the first version (above) sounds better but this one is much easier to play. Choose the one you like better.

Would it be wrong? Would it be right? If I took my life tonight Chances are that I might [play RIFF 1B] Mutilation outta sight And I'm contemplating suicide In the chorus there are some chords you just strum and then 2 little riffs, called RIFF 2 and RIFF 2B. You strum E5 and C5 and then play RIFF 2 or 2B. If you don't like the riffs you can just play a D5 chord instead, that's the chord that's behind the riffs.
