This is the rough way to play it, all I do is basically play this. Just alternate pick them.
Intro/ Chorus
The basic chord progression goes as so for the chorus :) It's pretty easy just take a
listen and you'll get it nice and easily.
There's some muting in too, just play along however you feel most comfortable.

|7/9-x5/9-7|
|5/7-x3/7-5|

You play this four times and the last D5, well C5 as its in D standard tuning, you let
chord ring for a bar or two.
Mini random fill :)

A lovely little fill to keep the song close-ish to the original Robert Tepper version,
for those who don't know who he is, the song off of Rocky IV where he drives his Lambo :P
Verse

Pre-chorus

If you want to, play yourself some triplets when moving down to the next chords, and
some fun with the pick-slide too, if you want to do a pinch harmonic on the open G and pull
with the whammy bar, sounds cool, of course only if you've got a two way bridge :P

Just play the chorus here, its the same as the intro if you didn't notice.
Right just play the verse here, and then obviously the pre-chorus :)
Again comes the chorus, however the chorus plays again, with the inclusion of the solo,
mess around normally, and this the closest I
managed to get to it :)
|---------------------------------15^-15^-15^-15^----15^-12-19^p17p15h17^|
|---------------------5-5/8-10^-8----------------------------------------|
|---------------7-5-4----------------------------------------------------|
|2--2-4-5-7-5-4-----------------------------------14---------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The bit with the pull offs is really just me messing around, it sounds cool if you get
timing right. Although if you want, just mess around in D minor or the pentatonic of D :)
Little fill straight after the solo

|222-2~~~~|
|000-0~~~~|
The bit that comes after all this is just those harmonics I tabbed at the top of the
:)
There's an FX guitar doing a few small arpeggios over this, except I couldn't quite
them. Ear's not so refined.
Just do the pre-chorus afterwards.
Obviously comes the chorus again, although I'm sure you need not read this cause you'll
:)
Just play it all the way till the fade out.
For the little solo till the fade out all I play is:
|------15----12---------15^~15p14h15|
|--------------15-------------------|
|12-14----14------12-14-------------| I know this isn't 100% but I'm sure
|-----------------------------------| it's pretty close.
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
Anyway, enjoy the song, its a fun one to play as I'm sure you know :)
Please comment to correct any bits that are wrong and I'll edit them in :) Cheers :)
