Strumming
Tuning: C# F# B E G# C#
You'll need to tune all the strings on your guitar down a step and a half to play this song. This song switches strumming style back and forth between palm muted strums,rapid down strums and big open strums. Listen to: https://youtu.be/IlqOREk35AE to get a better idea of the nuances of when each strumming pattern is used and how the palm muting in the verses sounds. Your third finger stays on the third fret of the first string for the whole song. During the chorus, instrumental and outro sections - the guitar is sometimes hitting second fret of the fifth string when switching from A7sus2 to Cmaj7sus2 and vice versa.

GThe cities lie like tumours all across the world A cancer eating mankind, hitting it on blindside A7sus2They say I'm a nihilist 'cause I can't see
