This song is pretty easy to play. The intro goes something like this….
e ———8-8————————————————————————
B —5-8-5-5-5-5-5-8-5—————————————————————-
G —6-6-6-6—6-6-6-6—REPEAT X4 W/CLEAN TONE—————————————-
D —7-7-7-7—7-7-7-7—————————————————————-
A —0-0-0-0—0——0—————————————————————-
E ————————————————————————————
The next part with the drums and bass is the same except distorted.The verse is also the
same with this riff at the end of each block…
e ————————————————————————————
B ————————————————————————————
G —4-4-x-x-x-x-7-7——————————————————————-
D —4-4-x-x-x-x-7-7——————————————————————-
A —2-2-x-x-x-x-5-5——————————————————————-
E ————————————————————————————
Just listen to the tune to figure which bit goes where. Next is the chorus. I`m not too
sure about this but it`s pretty much right I think…..
e ————————————————————————————
B ————————————————————————————
G ————10-10-9——9-9-9-/13-13-13———————————————
D —7-7-7—10-10-10-9——9-9-9-/13-13-13———————————————
A —7-7-7—10-8—8—7——7-7-7-/11-11-11———————————————
E —5-5-5—8———0——0-0-0——————————————————-
You`ll have to listen fo the strum. I think the 11 power chord is wrong but I`m not
sure.
The bassline basically follows the power chords but in the verse it goes…..
E —/555555-/555555-/555555-/555555—-
I`m not sure about the amount of times the A is played but you can listen for that.
The verse is exactly the same as the root note of the power chords. For the July She
lied… bit I play the notes from the chorus in the same order but different time and
omit the high G#.
