Haven't quite figure out the part between this Chorus and the Verse yet.
Working on it.
But, after that riff it continues into this:
Verse 2:
E|----------------------||
B|----------------------||
G|----------------------||
D|-14~--13~--14~--14~---|| 2X
A|----------------------||
E|----------------------||
E|--------------------------------||
B|--------------------------------||
G|-------------9\----8------------||
D|-7\----7\----9\----9----10--9---||
A|-7\----7\----7\----6-----x--x---||
E|-5\----5\----------------8--7---||
E|----------------------------||
B|----------------------------||
G|-------------9\----8----8---||
D|-7\----7\----9\----9----x---||
A|-7\----7\----7\----6----6---||
E|-5\----5\-------------------||
Chorus Again
Then
E|----------------||
B|----------------||
G|-----------1~---||
D|-3---------2~---|| After this it's a lot of static and effects
A|-3---------2~---|| leading into next part.
E|-1---------0~---||
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
G|-9---9---9---9---9---9---11---11---8---8---8---8---9---11---11---11-----||
D|---9---9---9---9---9---9----9----9---9---9---9---9---9----9----9----9---||
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
G|-9---9---9---9---11---11---12---12---8---8---8---8---11---11---11---11---||
D|---9---9---9---9----9----9----9----9---9---9---9---9----9----9----9----9-||
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Then pretty much the same as above except turn them into pairs:
E|-------------------||
B|-------------------||
G|-8---9---11---12---|| You figure out order and rhythm.
D|-9---9----9----9---|| It's not very hard to do.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Not quite sure on next riff yet.
Back to Chorus Riff Again
End song on:
