[F] Ok, first off I want to touch on the tuning a bit.
The song is tuned a whole step and a half down [Bm] every string [E] but it maintains the [B] standard tuning shapes.
So if you don't want to detune your guitar that much I would just memorize the positions
and just play it [A#] in whatever key works for you.
Ok, I'm going to show you the pattern that is going to
[F#] pretty much get you through this whole song.
Starting off with the 3rd fret on your A and B string, pluck it together, [E] followed by [A] open
[E] G, 3rd fret on your A string [A] again, [E] and then pluck the 3rd on the [B] A and B again.
And I'm not using a pick for this, you can use a pick but I think it sounds better and
warmer without it.
So let me just loop that pattern for you.
[E]
Then all you'll do is just move that pattern around, on the same pattern you're just going
to be moving your lead fingers around.
So you're going to go from the 3rd fret up
[C#]
to the 7th, back [E] to the 3rd,
[B]
[E] up to the [C#] 10th,
back to the 7th.
You'll run that whole pattern [E] again,
[C#]
[G] this time ending on the 8th.
And let me touch on that real quick, when you get to that part,
[C#m] you're going [C] to do the
little pattern 3 [G#] times.
[B] When you end, you want to just kind of strum it out, but you want to make sure you [Bm] mute
[F#] the D string whenever you do this.
[G] [E]
[Em] [B]
[G]
[B] [G]
[E]
[B] [G] [E]
[B]
[G] [C#] [E]
So for the verse, same lead pattern, 3rd fret off of your A string and B.
This time you're
going to move your middle finger up to the 3rd fret on the low E, pluck the low E and
the high B, open G, 3rd fret on the low E and then pluck the two together again, 3rd
fret on the low E and the B.
[Em] Next to the 5th fret, leading off the A string, [B]
and then 6th
fret leading off the [G] low E.
Same pattern, same pattern as the first one.
[Cm] And it will end on 7th fret, leading off the [C#] A string and the B, [C#]
[E] back into the chorus.
So all together slow on that one.
[B]
[G]
[C#]
[E]
[C#]
[E]
[C#]
[E]
[C#] So for the chorus, same deal, everything is leading off the A string and the B.
[B]
You go
[F#] 3rd, 10, 7, [E] [C#] 3rd, 10, 7 again.
This time you'll end on the [E] 8th fret one time through and
[C#m] give
it a strum out.
[A#] [E]

[C] [F]
[E]
[C] [F]
[G] For the bridge, just basic power chords.
I did grab a pick for this.
[E]
If you're going
to be doing finger style, you can just strum with your thumb.
[F] [E] Like I said, basic power
chords.
It's going to be a 3rd fret power chord, like where a G power chord would be.
3rd fret leading off of your low E to an E flat power chord [C] shape, which is 6th fret
leading off your A, 8th off your D, 8th off your G, [D#m] back [F] to 4th fret off your low E, 6th
off your A, 6th off your D.
[E]
[C]
[B] [F] [B] And [A#] then it will take you back into the intro riff.
So for the outro, you want to just double the chorus.
But a little way to mix it up
and beef up the song a little bit is you can kind of strum out the chords.
You want to
just make sure you mute the D string [B] throughout.
You want to just kind of aim for [E] the inner
four strings.
Let me give you a little example.
