1/2 step down.
INTRO/MAIN RIFF
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-8--8-8-8-8-9--4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------|
|-------------------------------6b-7-4-2-2-2-4-6-9--9-9-| x4

Then this once.
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|11--11-11-11-11-11-4--4-4--4-4-4-----------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-9---9--9--9--9--92--2-2--2-2-2-----------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
Then back to the main riff x 3 (I think it is 3)
Then play this.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-4--4-4-4-4--4-9--9-9--9-9-9------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-2--2-2-2-2--2/7--7-7--7-7-7------------------------|
Then the part that I think would be called the CHORUS
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----5--------4--4-4-5--5-5--------------------------|
|----4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4--------------------------|
|-6--6--6-6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6---6b-7-4-2-2-2-4-6-9--9-9| x 4
|-7--7--7-7-7-7--7-7-7--7-7-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0|
|-0--0--0-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0--------------------------|
*________________________*
Through this bit a second guitar plays the
higher strings of the E chord just played.
Then play this.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-4--4-4-4-4--4-9--9-9--9-9-9------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-2--2-2-2-2--2/7--7-7--7-7-7------------------------|
Then back to the VERSE/MAIN RIFF
Then to this.
Then play this.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-4--4-4-4-4--4-7--7-7--7-7-7------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-2--2-2-2-2--2/5--5-5--5-5-5------------------------|
Then back to the CHORUS
Then it changes to what I will call the BRIDGE
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-11-11-11-11-7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9--9--9--9-5-5-5-5-5-5-5|
From thereon in there is no new stuff..so that is it.
The song ends on the weird E from the CHORUS
I would like to hear some opinions about this please.
