Transcribed by Matt Kendall

Guitar 1 in clean tone

1:-------------------------------------------------------------------|
2:-7----------------7------------------------------------------------|
3:-----7h8--------------7h8------------------------------------------|
4:---------9----------------9-(9)(dive whammy>-----------------------|
5:-------------------------------------------------------------------|
6:-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 2 in clean tone (joine in 1/2 through 1st riff)

1:------------------------------|
2:------------------------------|
3:------------------------------|
4:-4~~4---------6-6--6-6--6-6---|
5:------5h6-----6-6--6-6--6-6---|
6:----------7-5-4-4--4-4--4-4---|  (not terribly sure bout that, but hey

it goes nicely w/ the tune anyway)

Both guitars in distortion (pre-chorus)

1:-----------------------------|
2:-7-7-------------------------|
3:-7-7-------------------------|
4:-7-7---------6-6--6-6--6-6---|
5:-5-5-5-6-----6-6--6-6--6-6---|
6:---------7-5-4-4--4-4--4-4---|

(chorus)

1:--------------------------------|
2:--------------------------------|
3:--------------------------------|
4:-6-6-6--8-8-8--9-9-9--12-12-12--|
5:-6-6-6--8-8-8--9-9-9--12-12-12--|

6:-4-4-4--6-6-6--7-7-7--10-10-10--| (put full rest stops between chord

changes. Might even sound best with

muted string noise in that case.

This chorus riff sounds best when

totally alternate picking==up-down-up)

(after chorus riff 1)

1:-------------------------------|
2:-------------------------------|
3:-------------------------------|
4:-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-12-12-12-12---|
5:-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-12-12-12-12---|
6:-4-4-4-4-7-7-7-7-10-10-10-10---|

(after chorus riff 2) --just keep repeating that D chord (w/ 10 & 12 frets)

continually...in the "Cable Guy" soundtrack version, that chord is bent

after several strums.

(bridge part)

1:-----------------------------------------------------------|
2:-----------------------------------------------------------|
3:-----------------------------------------------------------|
4:----------------4-------4----------------------------------|
5:-5~~--------4h6-----4h6------------------------------------|

6:----7-5-4-4--(4)--4-------- (if you can, hold those 4-6-4-| notes, or the

G#-D#-F# so that whole chord is sounded

out)

There you go and enjoy!
