End on an open D power chord(not palm muted)
Right in the blood
Maybe it''s alive
Cause it''s loaded
Worse on their own
Bottom of the world
But they mean it
Nothing will be worse
We have learned to think
Cause it might be
The nows and the knees
How will we breathe?
And they like it

version 2
Tuning: D A D G B E
DROP D TUNING!!!
The first 2/3 of the song revolves around this rhythm:
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------0-0------0---0-0----0-0-0----|
|--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------0-0------0---0-0----0-0-0----|
|--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------0-0------0---0-0----0-0-0----|
It''s a weird rhythm to get used to.
I think of it as groups of 1, 2''s, and 3''s
1 1 2 3 2 1 2 3
(I hope that helps and doesn''t confuse you even more)
The rest is easy but there''s a lot of distinct parts that you have to pay close
attention to so as not to get lost.
