This part below is just where Mark plays some muting with harmonics -

-----------------------------|
-----------------------------|
------------5^-5^-x-5^-------|
------------5^-5^-x-5^--0-0--|
-0-x-7^-7^--5^-5^-x-5^--0-0--|

-0-x-7^-7^--------------0-0--|

Verse – 4x with distortion “Girl you gotta love you man . . .”

-----3-----------5-----------7-----------5------5--|
---------------------------------------------------|
-4------4--4/6------6--6/7------7--7\6------6------|
---------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------|

Then when Scott sings “Take him by the hand!~” -

------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------|
-2--2--x-x-x-x--4--4--x-x-x-x--5--5--x-x-x-x--12--12--|
-2--2--x-x-x-x--4--4--x-x-x-x--5--5--x-x-x-x--11--11--|
-0--0--x-x-x-x--2--2--x-x-x-x--3--3--x-x-x-x---0---0--|
------------------------------------------------------|

Then back to this -

-----3-----------5-----------7-----------5------5--|------------|
---------------------------------------------------|------------|
-4------4--4/6------6--6/7------7--7\6------6------|------------|
---------------------------------------------------|--5^-5^-5^--|
---------------------------------------------------|--5^-5^-5^--|
---------------------------------------------------|--5^-5^-5^--|

After the harmonics go back to the distorted verse

Then go back to the clean verse

Finally go to this when the distortion comes back –

“Riders on the storm!!~~”
