You may want to just play the chords as 24xxxx and 04xxxx Note 2: Listen to the recording to get how this is played I prefer all downstrum, but you may play whatever way you wish (Played fast) eb|-----------------------| Bb|-----------------------| Gb|-----------------------| Db|--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--| Ab|--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--| Eb|--2--0--2--0--2--0--0--| (Play 4 times and lead into Verse) Verse: (* = After chord is played, 3 muted harmonics are played quickly between To do this, move your pointer finger from the 2nd to 3rd fret; lightly touching the E string and strum away. You'll hear the same sound as on the recording). Pre-chorus: (Bass only) People I've seen my day, ranting and raving this beauty away We are by and large the same, but words are too feeble, they cannot contain Chorus 1: *F#5 E5 D5 B5 He was a rock 'n roll Messiah (Repeat Verse) (Repeat Pre-chorus) Chorus 2: *F#5 E5 D5 B5 He was a rock and roll Messiah Bridge: C#5 A5 E5 D#5 C#5 A5 E5 D#5 Solo: Note: This was difficult to make out on the recording, so it is more than likely not 100%. Just fool around with it and you will come close. Or you can always improvise if you're good. :) (Guitar 2 plays Intro Part as rhythm backing) eb|--------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-----------------10-9-----------------------------------------------| Gb|-13-11~~~~-11-------11/15-15\11-11/15-15/11-13-11-13-11-13-11-13-11-| Db|--------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------------------------| Improvise after this! :) -------------------------------------------------------------| -----------12-10-12-10.....----------------------------------| -11-9-11-9---------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus 3: *F#5 E5 D5 B5 A5 D5 E5 Yeah, he was a rock and roll Messiah *F#5 E5 D5 B5 A5 D5 E5 How could you stand to lay beside her' Outro: Repeat the following progression throughout until end Listen to the recording to get how its played: *F#5 E5 D5 E5 Hey yeah, no, nananananananananananana Yeah, yeah, yeah, gimme the stage, gimme the stage Beside her, beside her, beside her END ON: (Note: Hold note and fade into feedback) |-----| |-----| |-----| |--9--| |--9--| |--7--| END
