You basicly use this riff here, as the intro, and as the

1st & 2nd verse. So you'll be playing this part alot!

G|------------------|------------------|-
D|*-----------------|------------------|-
A|*-----------------|------------------|-
E|-2-22/-9-99-9-9-9-|-2-22/-7-77-7-7-7-|-
G|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------|-----------------*|
A|------------------|-----------------*|
E|-2-22/-9-99-9-9-9-|-2-22/-7-77-7-7-7-|

The 1st & 2nd chorus is played like this:

G|-------------------|------------------|------------------|
D|*------------------|------------------|-----------------*| Just play once
A|*------------------|------------------|-----------------*| the first time.
E|--2-22/-9-99-9-9-9-|-2-22/-9-99-9-9-9-|-2-22/-9-99-9-9-9-|

Then re-play the intro & the 2nd verse,

then move on to the 2nd chorus.

Then after the 2nd chorus, there is this small

part that fills in just before the solo.

G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-------2-4-4-3-2-|---------2-2-0---|-------2-4-4-3-2-|---------2-2-0---|
E|-2-2-2-----------|-2-2-2-4-------4-|-2-2-2-----------|-2-2-2-4-------4-|

Then comes the solo, which is played like this:

G|------------------|------------------|------------------|-------------|-
D|------------------|------------------|------------------|-------------|-
A|------------------|------------------|------------------|-------------|-
E|-2-22/-9-99-9-9-9-|-2-22/-9-99-9-9-9-|-2-22/-9-99-9-9-9-|-h5--(5)--5\-|-
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-
A|-4-4-4-4---------|-----------------|-4-4-4-4---------|-----------------|-
E|---------0-0-0-0-|-1-1-1-1-5-5-5-5-|---------0-0-0-0-|-1-1-1-1-5-5-5-5-|-
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------|
A|-4-4-4-4---------|-----------------|-4-4-4-4---------|---------|
E|---------0-0-0-0-|-1-1-1-1-5-5-5-5-|---------0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-2-|

Now play the out-chorus, like this:

G|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|
D|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|
A|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|
E|-2-22/-10-1010-10-10-10-|-2-22/-10-1010-10-10-10-|-2-22/-10-1010-10-10-10-|

Slow down at this part.

G|-------------------------|----------------------------|
D|-------------------------|----------------------------|
A|-------------------------|----------------------------|
E|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|-h5~-----------------(5)----|

And that's it!
