Intro-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Verse-Chorus-outro

There's a bit of a drum intro at the start with the guitar doing an E

power chord which fades in and after 16 bars (I think) it starts up.

Intro

-0-

-0-

-9-

-9-

-7-

-0-

P.M.

Repeat this chord for sixteen bars (palm muted) after 8 bars, guitar 2

comes in with the same thing.

Then it goes:

(Slashes represent strumming pattern)

////|////|////|//// >x2

..Em ...C .....G ....D

Verse

The first half of the verse is just the bass playing

---------------------------------

-------------------------0-0-----
---------3-3-3-3-----------------
-0-0-0-0---------3-3-3-3-----2-3-

After 6 repeats of that, the guitar comes in the same as before:

////|////|////|////

..Em ...C .....G ....D

Except it's palm muted.

It repeats 4 times

Chorus

////|////|////|/////|////|////|////|////|

.......D ............C .............Em ...........D

This repeats 4 times

then he plays a C chord for 4 bars

Bridge

----------------------------

-----0------0------0------1-
---0------0------0------0---

----------------------------

----------------------3-----
-0------2------3------------

Outro

Same as Bridge.

Guitar 2

Intro

Comes in after 8 bars with same chord as guitar 1

Same as guitar one throughout

Verse

Just before the singing starts, the low e string is plucked once,

then, before guitar 1 comes in halfway through the verse, guitar two

plays quarter notes on an open b string about 6 times (it fades in and

out, so I'm unsure of how many repeats it does.

Through the chorus, guitar 2 basically plays the same thing:

E-------

B--3----
G-----0-
