Each line represents approximately one of the riffs that is played over the
verses (“oh my god, you are a dangerous lover”) this is played very freely,
with a swing. So try to get the feeling and don’t worry about hitting the
notes exactly the way I’ve written them.
Chorus
Both guitars (fuzz)
“Bang on the drum, is it loud enough to shake you?”
*notes in ( ) are optional
A5 G#5 C#5/G# F#5

E|-5—-5—-5--5--4--4--4—-4--4--4--4--4--2--2--2--2---------------------------|
The chorus is played at two different rhythms with one being very on beat
and steady while the other is played more freely, you’ll hear it when it
comes

Then go back to the chorus and play it again but this time use all
the optional notes (unless you really don’t want to) and when they
sing “scream it loud for the last time keep strumming the G#5
Then it will go to another transitional section that is play with little
to no overdrive and sounds like it has a chorus effect

Now comes the interlude where one guitar is playing clean with a
slight tremolo effect and maybe something else like a flange or
chorus, I’m not enough of a gear head to be able to distinguish
