I tried to figure this one out by ear, so it might need adjusting -- please comment if so. This is as close as I could get to matching the song on a guitar. It sounds good to me. -- NOTES -- - All the chords (even those with *s) are formatted, so this can be transposed up/down if it's too difficult. - I mostly palm-mute downward strums, roughly following the background beat (for most of the song, anyway). - For heavier sections you can add a slap for every other beat, again matching the background rhythm. - The A and D work well as barre chords (moving from C#m to D to A is comfy), but can also be played open. - Chords with an asterisk(*) are just hit once -- usually as a transition (middle step) between other chords. -- CHORDS -- Chords (BARRE): -- OR -- Alternative Shapes:
