TUNING - D A D A D E

 ----------------------------------------

INTRO/VERSE:


Gtr 1

E|--0--0--0--0--|
D|--0--0--0--0--|  These are just the
A|--0--0--0--0--|  chords - the strumming
D|--9--4--5--7--|  and timing isn't that
A|--9--4--5--7--|  hard.
D|--9--4--5--7--|

Gtr 2 (written for a 6-string)

E|------2------------------------------
D|----0---0------0--------0------------
A|--2----------0---0----0------0--5-4--
D|-----------4--------5------7---------
A|-------------------------------------
D|-------------------------------------

E------2------------------------------|
D----0---0------0--------0---------4--|
A--2----------0---0----0------0--5----|
D-----------4--------5------7---------|
A-------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------|

Both those parts go through the verse.

CHORUS:

Chords

E|--0--0--0--0--|
D|--0--0--0--0--|  2x, then play verse
A|--0--0--0--0--|  progression twice,
D|--0--5--0--7--|  then go back to verse.
A|--0--5--0--7--|
D|--0--5--0--7--|

Gtr 1 (soft with distortion)

E|----10---9--|
D|--7----7----|  This little pattern
A|------------|  repeats a few times,
D|------------|  with slight variations.
A|------------|
D|------------|

------
BRIDGE (after 2nd Chorus):

Chords

E|--0--0--0--|
D|--0--0--0--|  2x, then play verse
A|--0--0--0--|  progression twice,
D|--5--2--0--|  then go back to verse.
A|--5--2--0--|
D|--5--2--0--|

------
In the bridge and the verse after the bridge, Jeff
plays a couple quick riffs - I haven't taken time
To figure them out.  They should n't be that hard.

Enjoy :)
