Chorus (1:20)
these chords are shared between two guitars.
it's easily recognisable which guitar plays which chord.
(repeat this untill last chord)e|-22-----x----x----9-9-----------------------------------------------------|B|-22-----x----x----9-9-----------------------------------------------------|G|-33-----1313-1111-1010----------------------------------------------------|D|-44-8-8-1313-1111-1111-11-11----------------------------------------------|A|-44-9-9-1111-9-9--1111-11-11----------------------------------------------|E|-22---------------9-9-----------------------------------------------------|
the last chord before chorus ends
on the final strum, strum the chord 3 times (up, down up) very rapidly to achieve the
effect in the song.
e|-44-44-44-44-444-----------------------------------------------------------|B|-44-44-44-44-444-----------------------------------------------------------|G|-55-55-55-55-555-----------------------------------------------------------|D|-66-66-66-66-666-----------------------------------------------------------|A|-66-66-66-66-666-----------------------------------------------------------|E|-44-44-44-44-444-----------------------------------------------------------|
back to riff I including the 'light' chords played over the top but at full volume this
(1:58)
after this only the vocals can be heard. play the light chords over the top. (2:14)
just the vocals, bass and drums can be heard now until 2:58 where the chorus parts are
again.
at 3:13 you can make out another riff in the background with a strange effect to it.
is how it goes.
e|-------11----------9-------------------------------------------------------|B|---11----11----11---11-----------------------------------------------------|G|-----11----11----11---11---------------------------------------------------|D|-11----------11------------------------------------------------------------|A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
(repeat according to song)
after this riff I including the chords over the top are played.
however riff is changed slightly on the third time (3:53) as you probably can hear. it
like this.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|G|----11p10---------------10-------------------------------------------------|D|--------13-11--------------------------------------------------------------|A|-------------13-11-13-13--88-9-11------------------------------------------|E|-9-9-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
