Okay, this song is really basic but it has a wicked harmonic rhythm pattern following the regular chords. Needless to say, but still I do, there are two guitars. The rhythm pattern for the verse is really easy, I wont list the exact strum pattern but you’ll easily pick it up.

*Also I apologize for the writing going so far, I don't write them like that, the
site doesn't recognize my breaks I guess.

Verse w/harmonics (00:26) this is two guitars but I’ll write it out as one.

*= Harmonic
For the harmonic that says 2.7, that means that play the note as if there was a 2.7 fret meaning not exactly on the third fret but a little before it. Judge it playing the note just a little after the dot on the second fret (as if the dot were 2.5). Also I didn’t write it out but these harmonics slide back to a 1.5 harmonic as well through out the verse.

Lead underneath verse – There is this sickening little lead under the verse that I had to figure out, it’s a little hard to hear but its there. It’s only played during the D chord 5-7-7.
