[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [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] _ _ _ [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.
