PM . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Guitar two rests while this is played once through, then on the second time, with heavy effects (sounds
like flange and wah) this is played:
GUITAR TWO:
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|-2--4-6--4-7--6-5--------------------------------------------------------------
D|-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--------------------------------------------------------------
A|-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--------------------------------------------------------------

After this is played through twice, guitar two plays this once:
BRIDGE
GUITAR TWO:
E|------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------
A|-8h10p8h11p8h10p8h11p8h10p8---------
D|------------------------------------
Guitar one then joins in with this:
GUITAR ONE:
E|------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------
D|-7h9p7h11p7h9p7h11p7h11p7-----------
A|------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------
Drums and bass then come in, and guitar one and two continue to repeat these riffs for two measures, then
guitar two plays this with guitar one's above riff:
GUITAR TWO:
E|------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------
A|-6h8p6h9p6h8p6h9p6h8p6h9p6h8p6------

Guitar two then goes back to it's original bridge riff, and guitar one plays this for one measure:
GUITAR ONE:
E|------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------
D|-6h8p6h10p6h8p6h10p6h8p6h10p6h8p6---
A|------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------
This whole thing is repeated one more time, then it goes into a part which I'll call bridge two.
BRIDGE TWO
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------

D|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----
"Wanna hold my wife..."
Both guitars do this twice, then there's a short rest where a violin plays, then both guitars go back to
the above riff and play it four times through, then guitar two does this:
GUITAR TWO:
E|------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------
A|-8h10p8h11p8h10p8h11p8h10p8---------
D|------------------------------------
Guitar two plays this once, then guitar one joins with:
GUITAR ONE:
E|------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------
D|-7h9p7h11p7h9p7h11p7h11p7-----------
A|------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------
Guitar one's riff is played three times, guitar two's is played four times, and that is the end of the
song. Have fun with it.
