Play Riff 1 x2 "Stay asleep at the wheel..." (ends the same as before)
*Note: A guitar plays a muted string thing during the little refrain here.
To do it, place your hand on all the strings lightly (don't fret them)
at around the 5th fret or so and just strum. It's very wet with
effects, it sounds like a ton of delay and reverb, but it's very
indistinct in the song so you can barely hear it.
Play Riff 2 x1 "Will the end of time..."
Play Riff 3 x1 "Father will pay for what you've done..."
Play Riff 1 x4 "Stay asleep at the wheel..."
*Bridge notes: There is actually no guitar in the bridge. For the most part,
strings and vocals take control, but if you want to play
guitar here, it's the same as Riff 2 so just play that once.
Now, after the first half of Riff 2 finishes, another guitar
kicks in with those heavy delay/reverbed string mutes as I've
mentioned before. Still, can barely hear it here too, but it's
there if you choose to play it.
Play Riff 1 x4 "Stay asleep at the wheel..."
That's essentially it, not much entertainment on the guitar for this one.
More of a vocally and strings driven song really. If you have any questions,
feel free to message me here or on my YouTube channel and I'll make sure to
respond ASAP. Enjoy!
