This is sort of my fav song on the album and it's fairly easy to play.
if ur having difficulty on when to switch chords because you can't
really tell while listening to the CD, try to adjust the EQ on ur
stereo. Turn the treble all the way down, mid range all the way up and
bass
in the middle, that'll make the guitar part stick out.
This song is in drop D tuning so tune ur guitar to EBGDAD
Here are the intro chords, I'm not sure if it's played on a guitar but I
tabbed it anyways
xxx666 xxx333 xxx111
This is the intro background solo, play it on the thin E string
E--10---10---10-11-8-------13-10----10---10-11-13

Chorus
E-----------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------
D--x-x-8--10--6-----3----1----------------------
A--x-x-8--10--6-----3----1----------------------
D--x-x-8--10--6-----3----1----------------------
The chorus is the part where you have to really listen know when to
switch chords. you can also add a chord xxx666 between the xxx333 and
xxx111, I think I heard it played that way in some parts of the song but
you don't have to. if you have completely no idea what I'm talking
about then just forget it, it doesn't make a lot of difference
Here's the bridge between the two chorus
E--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------
G--12---12---12---12---5---5---5---5-----------
D----11---11---11---11---5---5---5---5---------
A--------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------
There, that's basically the whole song
I also tabbed those little guitar fills in the chorus if you wanna know
B--10--10b-----------------------------------------
I think you play that twice in a chorus and the other fill is
G--12brbr---15brbr---19brbr-----------------13/12--
