Intro/Verse: The intro and first verse are comprised of two

Intro repeat twice
Verse repeat x4

Chorus: Uses same patterns as above parts.

A# | A# | F | Fsus2
A# | A# | F | Fsus2
C | C | F | A#
F | F

For the following verses and choruses an accoustic guitar plays part 2
with 8 strums pre bar, as opposed to the piano's 4.

Thats basically it, just repeat verse then chorus over and over again. :)

You should also use the capo on the second fret on this version, however i preferr the 1stversion, taken from the live in sydney 2003, DVD, just watch through it and judge for yourself, I hope this is right though. personally, I preferr to play the whole thing through like this.








Capo 5th fret.





verses:


Am, F, C, C, Csus.





Chorus':


F, C, C, Csus.





Distortion riffs.





Am, F, C, C, Csus


(with bends on the D string only when in C)





Csus is this...





e-0


B-1


G-0


D-0 (normally 2- in C, just take your finger off this string)


A-3


E-3
