Flawed Design Chords & Tabs
People have made a few good attempts at tabbing this song, but the following is how
actually plays the intro/ verse riff. It's based on the E minor scale, starting on the 7th
of the A string. The chord names show the implied tonality of the progression.

In the pre-chorus the electric does the following "octaves" riff. Some of the slides are
little tricky;)

For the chorus, rhythm guitar strums Em G D Am using the standard open chords that we
know so well. The electric does a high funk riff that I haven't worked out the voicing for.
The Bridge goes: C Am C Am C Am C D D#
Enjoy!
