"Smile"
G
The ship is high
Gsus G C2
And I don't know how to make it down
G
But I'm gonna try
Gsus G C2
To slip inside mind of a clown
G
Follow me
Gsus G C2
Thinkin' I could save you now
G
Follow me
Gsus G C2
Thinkin' I could turn a frown
(RiffA 3x or listen to the song)
Into smile
RiffA: (Think they used some delay for this one but you can always
just pick each note)

(While playing RiffA the music will start to build up and get heavy
there are two guitar parts for this part of the song Guitar1 with
dist and Guitar2 with dist and a little flange or phase.)
Into a smile....
G1: (similar chords as of the verse but distorted)G, Gsus, G, C2
G2: repeat 3x |

(And then for the finale both guitars plays the Guitar1 part(rhythm)
together but you can also improvise and lead over that part and kick
butts it's in Key of G major or E minor)
Alright Rock on axe slingers !!
