Tuning: E A D G B E
I've seen a few places attempt this song and not quite get it right, so here it is accurately. It blends
chords from the Key of A, B and E and it has 2 simple, but quick rhythym guitar chord fills while it's playing
the main chords. It may look like a lot below, but it's actually fairly simple if you listen to the song while
playing/learning.

Fill Chord description below
[Chord Fill 1]
[ F#7sus | F# | F#7sus | F# ] are played in 4 single quick strokes, Down | Up | Down | Up with the pinky
finger hitting the 4 on the G-string.
[Chord Fill 2]
Then the very next chord after Fill 1 above is a Down stroke on Bm*, a few strokes later followed by the
same Down| Up | Down | Up fill pattern using[ Bm* | Bsus2[b6] | Bm* | Bsus2[b6]] , this time using the middle
finger to hit the 3 on the E-string
N.C.The chords are lined up with lyrics exactly as they should be, so follow closely. You can either strum like
the guitar in the song, which is a varying melodic up and down pattern, or fast and repetitively to mimic the
intensity of the drums and bass, which I would reccommend instead, especially if you're playing it alone.
N.C.The Intro is the same as the verse, so it's easier to learn the timing for the Intro using the verse and
lyrics below... You can learn the chords before adding the 2 quick fills for simplicty.
