Choppy part: D^Eun D^Eun| D^Dun D^Dun| D^Aun D^Aun|D^Gun D^Gun| Chromatic walkdown: E G F# F E G F# F Em (drawn out strum -> jam on E minor)

Jam goes on for like 4 or 5 minutes floating around E minor. Towards the end it transitions to Em D Em F#m a few times before walking up E F# G A. It's pretty weird. I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, you'll have to listen real carefully. Next part transitioning out is kinda tough but you should be able to get it. I'm ~85% sure the chords are right =] |E E |D D | |E E |D D | |E E |D D | |F F F F | |E E |D D | |E E |D D | |E E |D D | |E D A C E |E E | |E D A C B | |B B ->NEXT VERSE| [Verse 1]
