During the intro, Guitar 1 plays something like this:
e|------------------|
B|----5-------------|
G|-------9--9-9-----|

Just vary a bit with this. Or just strum the E chord!

Guitar 1 plays these chords in this order:

Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
E C G Gmaj7 E
If I get old, I'll not give in
And if I do, remind me of this
Remind me that I was once free
Once I was cool Once I was me
E C G Gmaj7 E
And if I sit down and cross my arms
Hold me up to this song
Chorus:
D A C E
Knock me out, smash out my brains
C E B Am E
If I take a chair, start to talk shit...
Verse 2:
E C G Gmaj7 E
If I get old, remind me of this:
That night we kissed, and I really meant it
Whatever happens, if we're still speaking
Pick up the phone, play me this song
GUITAR 2 & 3 PARTS
Intro:
Guitar 2 (distorted) plays small fills through the intro, like:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|-----11/1211-----| Also just improvise a bit in E major and with
D|------------------| the notes from the Guitar 1 part, use your
A|------------------| imagination!
E|------------------|
Guitar 3: from around 0:55 you can hear a third guitar strumming this chord. It`s best
strum this with your nails
because it sounds too heavy when played with a plectrum:
e|---|
B|---|
G|-9-| Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
D|-9-|
A|-7-|
E|---|
Verse 1:
Guitar 2 (overdriven) just plays this chord a lot during the verse (once at the
of each bar):
e|------|
B|--5---|
G|--9---|
D|------|
A|------|
E|------|
And at certain moments he plays this:
e|----------|
B|----------|
G|-11/1211-|
D|----------|
A|----------|
E|----------|
He also plays other fills, but again just improvise a bit.
Guitar 3 quietly strums this all the time (every bar, just listen to the song):
e|---------------|
B|---------------|
G|--9-9-9-9------|
D|--9-9-9-9------|
A|---------------|
E|---------------|
Chorus:
I think Guitar 2 just plays arpeggio`s here but I`m not sure yet. I`ll do this later I suppose.
Soloish thingy by Guitar 2 (distorted):
e|---12~----/17~-----12~---------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|
Now THAT is hard, huh? :)
Verse 2:
Guitar 2: repeat earlier notes and fills, the only clear fill that can be heard here is
little bend:
G|-11b-| (distorted)
--------------------
version 2
INTRO:
Strum E repeatedly
CHORDS:
E C G Gmaj7 E
And if I get old, I'll not give in
And if I do, remind me to pray
Remind me that I was always free
The spiders crawl all over me
And if I sat down and crossed my arms
Help me to this song
D A C E
Knock me out, smash out my brains
C E
If I take my chance
B Am Am E
Stop to talk ***
If I get old, remind me of this
And I'll be cursed, all I remember
And what I think of wasted speaking
But not before...play me this song.
*Gmaj7 = [320002]
STRUMMING PATTERNS USED:
The strumming is a very important part to this song.. The following
is how it's done on the CD. If you're going to improvise something more
interesting on top of it, then stick to this pattern:
INTRO:
|. 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - .|
|. / / / / / / .|
= upstroke : eadgbe
<----- THIS WAY
/ = downstroke : eadgbe
-----> THIS WAY
Occasionally, a heavy, 'deliberate' upstroke is used on the first beat
of a new bar in the intro.
The verse chords change as follows:
E C G Gmaj7 E E
|. 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - .|
|. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / .|
The chorus chords change as follows:
D A C E
|. 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - .|
|. / / / / / / / / / / / / .|
C E B Am Am [back to E again..]
|. 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - .|
|. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / .|
