Here goes another from this great band. It’s all played in riffs (at
least, that’s the way I call it, don’t know if it’s wright).
intro:
Distortion Guitar:
D F D C F F D F G G->G#->G F D F C
|———————|——————|———————|———————-|
|———————|——————|———————|———————-|
|-7—10———10—|-10——10-12—-|-12/13/12—10—7—-|-10——————-|
|-7—10-12—10—10—|-10-12—10-12—-|-12/13/12—10—7—-|-10-10—(repeat)——|
|-5—8—12—10—8—-|-8—12—8—10—-|-10/13/10—8—5—-|-8—10—————-|
|——-10—8———|—-10————|———————|—-8——————|
Then goes:
D E->F C A# A (repeat)
Refrain:
A# C F C->D
(D)OH yeah, (A#)oh yeah, (C)open mind and they’ll (F)show their
meaning (C)of (D)life. (repeat—> can’t remember the lyrics.)
(D)OH yeah, (A#)oh yeah, (C)open mouth and you’ll (F)swallow their
meaning (C)of (A#)life, can’t make it by your way(C). Thanks, but no
thanks(D).
I guess you can take it from this. Any mistakes? Please, you know
what to do!
Peace!

verse 1 (first part without guitar)
The second part isn’t as easy as it seems.
You have to play a lot of dead notes or palm muted notes
between the power chords.

I am not sure about the part after the
refrain is played the second time. Try to
figure it out and e-mail your result to me.
