Not Your Savior Chords & Tabs
The rhythm guitar through out this song is played in "Power
Chords", although two of the power chords are not standard.
I like to call these "non-standard" power chords "Inverted Power
Chords." I have labeled the two inverted power chords below. (the
x's mean those strings aren't played).
