This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Listen to song for rythm but basically the F power chord is played for a beat and a half

the E/F power chord is played for a half beat each time. After that the D powerchord

played one beat and the A and A# powerchords are played a half-beat each. (Wierd rythm

but you'll understand when you hear it.)

(Violin part played at different parts in the song)

(and hit the A and A# powerchords a little bit harder because this bit goes into the

E|----------------------------------------------------------------|

(As usual, the F and D chords are played a beat and a half while the E/F and E/D chords

played only a half beat. The octaves are just played slowly at first and then go up fast.

On most of the parts of the song I thought the higher F powerchord sounded better but if

dont think so, simply substitute it for the lower one:)

D|--3----------------------------------3----|
A|--3—and then play the E/F like this--3----|
