Put your middle G|2---------------| finger on the 2nd string 3rd fret, and D|0---------------| use your ring finger to hit the 6th G|0---------------| string 4th fret, and index finger to hit C|2---------------| the 6th string 2nd fret. **************** Once you've got that, just repeat the verse for '3rd and Lake...', and then play the chorus again. The bridge is just a quiet version of the intro, and the opening riff goes on for a bit longer at the end of the bridge before the final chorus. This works reasonably well acoustically since it adds in a bit of a bass-line. Have fun; I hope you enjoy!
