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

Intro

ok for the first part of the intro you're hitting natural harmonics and bending them.

bend them by pressing down on the string on the headstock, or if you have a floating

just use the bar to bend up.

Ab|--2----2--------------------------7----5----2-2--3-3---------------------|

after the first chorus you play the intro again, n then you play this little fill

eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|--[5]Br-3h5p3---3h5p3-5~-------------------------------------------------|

k so after the solo you play a prechorus then the chorus then u do the intro

again with different fills in between it, the fills are all round like 3rd 5th

or 7th fret with fast hammer ons n pull offs n pinch harmonics so you can have

fun make your own fills :-)

alright peace,
