** Depress whammy bar as far as it will go (about an octave) then
strike note and shake bar up and down 7 times (eighth notes -&2&3 etc.)
This goes real fast so have fun!!
Repeat Intro except on the Dadd4 the second time play 2 eighth notes
instead of quarter then eighth note:

Here's the riff played before the first verse:
Palm mute all f#'s on six string: (the technique I recommend for this is
rocking your
first finger back and forth and using the third finger to barre the two notes
at the fourth
fret:

you should be able to fiqure out were they go if you here the song:

Now, for verse two and the chorus, you already know, just repeat the stuff.
E-(2)~~~~~-------|
Now for my favorite, the solo, pretty hard to fiqure out, I read this one
riff in a guitar
mag, you know the over the top tapping:
The tapped riff is really 7th chords arppegiated. (16th notes) I show the
technique for one chord
and where the next chords are:
A7(12th)
A7(12th)--|--B7(14)---|--B7(14)--|--C7(15)--|-D7(17)--|
------------------------------------|
-14------14--------14------14-------|
-----12-------12-------12------12---|
---14------14--------14------14-----|
-------12--------12------12-------12|
------------------------------------|
* 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2
Play the 14's with right hand and 12's with left over the top of the neck
with the
left hand pinky lying across and muting all the strings to cut out noise.
* fingering
Then he changes it with the same ideas:
E7 (play three times)

Arr-heah!
It's my life. Get off my ass, get outta my face
Man, I don't see no problem
Kickin' back, ain't kickin' you, no no!
Anyway, if I make 'em, I'll solve 'em
Whoa, oh, ohh. That's right. Yeah yeah-yeah. Woo!
Makin' plan's a waste. Ain't no future here
Got no faith, got no religion
Oh tell me why (ooh-ooh) should I (ooh-ooh)
(Ahh) Care or even, why should I try?
I just slide slide on by (ooh-ooh)
(Ahh) Never bad enough to crucify me
Huah! Put it out until Judgement Day
I'll bear the cross on Judgement Day
I've done most everything to keep from doing anything
cause sometimes I just wanna do nothing
When I'm startin' off with nothin'
Oh tell me why (ooh-ooh) should I (ooh-ooh)
(Ahh) Care or even wanna try?
I just slide (ooh) slide on by (ooh-ooh)
(Ahh) Never bad enough to crucify me.
Ow! Put it off until Judgement Day
I'll bear that (same old cross) same ol' cross
On Judgement Day. Ow!
Uh! Uh!
Ow! Hey!
(Guitar Solo)
Woo!
Mmm
Hey man, everything's all right. Yeah.
Whow! Ow!
Put it off, until Judgement Day
I'll bear the cross, on, Judgement Day, hey
Put it off, put it off, until Judgement Day
I'll bear the (bear the cross) cross
On, Judgement Day
Ow! Whoa yeah! On Judgement Day
(Put it off) Oh! Whoa yeah! On Judgement Day, hey!
Wow!
