This is played over the first half of the verses, twice before each verse,
and four times at the end of the song.
The following is played over the second half of the first verse:
+ + + + + + + + + +
|-----2------2----|-----0------0----|-3----
|-------3------3--|-------2------2--|-3----
|---4-------4-----|---2-------2----0|-0----
|----------4------|----------2------|-0----
|-2-------2-------|-0-------0-------|-2----
|-----------------|-----------------|-3----
At the end of the other verses, going into the chorus, rather than holding
the G chord, play the following:
+ + + + + + + + + + + +
|-----3------3----|-------------------------|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|
|-------3---3--3--|-3-------3-3-3-3---3-----|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|
|-----------------|-2-------2-2-2-2---2-----|-0-------0-0-0-0-----0---| etc
|---0------0------|-0-------0-0-0-0---0-----|-0-------0-0-0-0-----0---|
|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
|-3-------3-------|---------------------2---|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|
Note that after the first verse, there are three guitars on the recording
doing their own thing - but since there isn't really anything fancy enough
to justify wasting a lot of space tabbing them all out, the chord
formations shown above make a reasonable arrangement for one guitar.
However, do note that over the verse riff, one of the other guitars
(an acoustic) uses these chords: Dsus2-xx0235 A/D-xx0225
Notation used:
+ = Beat marker
h = Hammer-on
p = Pull-off
b = Bend
r = Release bend
/ = Slide
~ = Vibrato
