it, go ahead and rate.

INTRO PT. 1

Guitar 1

e|-12~----|
B|--------|
G|--------|

Tremolo picking with weird effects. This picking isn't exact but if you listen to the

you should be able to get the picking.

e|-12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10-12-12--10-10-12-12-12-12-10-----|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 2

e|--12~---12-12-10-10----------------10-10-12-12~----|
B|-------------------12-12~----12-12-----------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|

INTRO PT. 2

Guitar 1 (Take off the effects) You can do a slide on the last notes or hit each chord

whichever you prefer.

e|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|-------------7~-----------------|
D|--2--2---5---7~---5-7--5-7------|
A|--2--2---5---5~---5-7--5-7------|
E|--0--0---3--------3-5--3-5------|

Guitar 2 (same as intro accept for last part) On 4th time through:

e|--12~---12-12-10-10----------------10-10-12-12~----||--------------------|
B|-------------------12-12~----12-12-----------------||-12h13p12/10--10/5--|
G|---------------------------------------------------||--------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------||--------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------||--------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------||--------------------|

VERSE 1

Guitar 1:Once again you can slide on the last notes or not, doesn't matter.

On 4th time play this.

e|----------------------------------||----------------------|
B|----------------------------------||----------------------|
G|----------7-7~--------------------||-----------777--------|
D|--22222---7-7~----5-7---5-7-------||---77777x--777--555---|
A|--22222---5-5~----5-7---5-7-------||---77777x--555--555---|
E|--00000-----------3-5---3-5-------||---55555x-------333---|

Play this entire thing twice through then go into the chorus

CHORUS (Both guitars play this)If this strumming isn't clear you can listen to the song

its easy to pick out.

e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--77777x-------------77777x-------------77777x---------------|
D|--77777x-77-7-77777--77777x-77-7-77777--77777x-77-7-77777----|
A|--55555x-77-7-77777--55555x-77-7-77777--55555x-77-7-77777----|
E|---------55-5-55555---------55-5-55555---------55-5-55555----|

BRIDGE: (little part after the chorus) Exactly the same at the Intro pt. 2

Guitar 1

e|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|-------------7~-----------------|
D|--2--2---5---7~---5-7--5-7------|
A|--2--2---5---5~---5-7--5-7------|
E|--0--0---3--------3-5--3-5------|

Guitar 2 On 4th time through:

e|--12~---12-12-10-10----------------10-10-12-12~----||--------------------|

G|---------------------------------------------------||--------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------||--------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------||--------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------||--------------------|

Then Verse 2 is played the same way as Verse 1 except for one little 2nd guitar part

you might not even notice. It comes in towards the end of the verse after the line "Some

get squashed crossing the tracks..." and then again after "I'm not broke but you can see

the cracks..." It uses the same kind of effect as the 1st part of the intro.
