version 2
TUNNING: STANDARD
CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE
A5 (x022xx) [These are just the basic chords. He uses all types of
G5 (355xxx) chords in the song, I've transcribed them in the tab.]
D5 (x577xx)
E5 (022xxx)
He uses a lot of Keith Richards type chords in the prechorus and
the chorus, like this:
E
E|---------|
B|--9--10--| The best way to play these chords
G|--9--9---| is to bar the notes on the 9th fret
D|--9--11--| with your index finger, and then
A|---------| hammer on the notes on the 10th and
E|---------| 11th fret with your ring and middle
fingers, while still keeping your index finger on
the 9th fret. It's hard to explain but you'll get
the hang of it, it's easy.
I've tabbed out everything they play in the song, but if you think
that's to hard, you can just play the powerchords I wrote above the
lyrics and if your a real good guitarist you should be able to combine
the two guitars and not lose the feel of the song. cheers

This last A5 chord
is the chord that
starts the verse.
In the verses there's only one guitar.
The notes that have a * below them are palm-muted.
I don't know any better way to spell it out.
Here's what the guitar plays in the verses:

I think there may be another guitar that plays the tab below at the
same time, but I'm not sure. If you're playing alone, just use
the tab you think sounds best.
