The B5-B6 pattern has been used throughout the song (except for the E5
as I stated above). I will only write the intro out in this rythm.
E||---------|--------|--------|--------|

G||---------|--------|--------|--------|
D||-4-4-6-4-|4-4-6-4-|4-4-6-4-|4-4-6-4-|

Verse:
The B5 and C#5 are not played as B5-B6, C#5-C#6 but just as B5 and C#5.
Chorus:
The chordchange E-A in the chorus is played like this:
E||--------|--------||
B||--------|--------||
G||--------|--------|| Play the 5-6 pattern again in the
D||9-9-9---|--------|| second bar but skip the first eightnote.
A||7-7-7-7-|--7-9-7-||
E||------5-|--5-5-5-||
The first two bars with the D-chord is played like this:
E||--------|--------||
B||--------|--------||
G||--------|--------|| Let the chord ring in the second bar.
D||7---7---|--------||
A||5---5---|--------||
E||--------|--------||
The last five bars of the chorus are played like this:
E|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------||
B|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------||
G|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------||
D|9-9-9-7-|--------|----7-7-|7-7-7-7-|7-7-7---||
A|7-7-7-5-|--------|----5-5-|5-5-5-5-|5-5-5---||
E|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------||
Let it ring!
To keep things understandable I will give you the chordsequence
of the chorus as an overview:
|A5 |A5 |A5 |A5 |E5 |A5 |A5 |A5 |A5 |
|A5 |A5 |A5 |A5 |E5 |D5 |D5 |
|A5 |A5 |A5 |A5 |E5 |D5 |D5 |D5 |D5 |
Break:
It was very hard to unravel the break. It's not hard to play though, but
I'm not sure about it. I will give you two solutions for the guitar that
clearly beats the chords:
E|------------|---------|----|----|--------|--------|----|----|
B|12-12-12-10-|12-------|----|----|8-8-8-5-|8-------|----|----|
G|11-11-11-11-|11-------|----|----|7-7-7-7-|7-------|----|----|
D|9--9--9--9--|9--------|----|----|5-5-5-5-|5-------|----|----|
A|------------|---------|----|----|--------|--------|----|----|
E|------------|---------|----|----|--------|--------|----|----|
E|--------|--------|----|----|
B|5-5-5-3-|5-------|----|----|
G|4-4-4-4-|4-------|----|----|
D|2-2-2-2-|2-------|----|----|
A|--------|--------|----|----|
E|--------|--------|----|----|
But there's always the chance of hearing more than there's happening.
So I give you this alternative (maybe they are played both, can you tell?)
E|--------|---|---|---|--------|---|---|---|--------|---|---|---|
B|--------|---|---|---|--------|---|---|---|--------|---|---|---|
G|--------|---|---|---|--------|---|---|---|--------|---|---|---|
D|--------|---|---|---|--------|---|---|---|--------|---|---|---|
A|9-9-9-9-|9--|---|---|5-5-5-5-|5--|---|---|2-2-2-2-|2--|---|---|
E|7-7-7-7-|7--|---|---|3-3-3-3-|3--|---|---|0-0-0-0-|0--|---|---|
The rest is played in 5-6 pattern:
|B5 |B5 |B5 |B5 |F#5 |F#5 |F#5 |F#5 | 2x
The other guitar is playing this:
E||--------------||
B||*12-12-12-12-*||
G||-11-11-11-10--||
D||-9--9--9--9---|| 12x
A||*------------*||
E||--------------||
In bar 12 there's starting a little solo:
E|7-7-7-7-|7-7-7---|7-7---7-|7---7-7-|--------|
B|7-7-7-7-|7-7-7---|7-7---7-|7---7-7-|7-7-7\--|
G|--------|------9-|----9---|--9-----|9-9-9\--|
D|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
A|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|

Intro solo:
The intro-solo is played unisono with the keyboards. I play it on one
string to keep the sound constant. You can play it in one position with
pull-offs but then you can hear the crossing of the strings. This one
is repeatedly played in the outro.

Monday morning, beautiful sunshine
Don't wanna go to work now
Guess I won't be missed this one time
Nobodies getting hurt now
Telephone call on the red card hotline
I'm never gonna learn how
We go round and round and round and round and over again
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
what goes round and round and round will come together again
I dream all day, she tells me I'm lazy
I think she better go now
She don't understand, she's an airhead baby
I'm a legend in my own town
On the cards it's a definite maybe
there's gonna be a showdown
And we go round and round and round and round and over again
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
what goes round and round and round will come together again
We go round and round and round and round and over again
Sometimes cool, sometimes crazy
I never have a bad day
I stay clear when everything's hazy
I never have a mad day
Do my best, nothing can change me
I gotta do it my way.
'cos we go round and round and round and round and over again
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
what goes round and round and round will come together again
We go round and round and round and round
