The lyrics in the CD insert are slightly different from what Bradley actually sings so I changed them below to get as close as I could to the actual words sung. All the chords should be barred. The E on the 7th fret, the Ab on the 4th, the Dbm also on the 4th and the B on either the 2nd or more conveniently the 7th. The chords in the song might all be power chords, I'm not really sure. I put the chords along with the first verse and chorus so you could get the idea. Each chord is strummed and muted four times in the verses. The chorus riff I have included below is not exactly accurate as is my intro but they are pretty close. I'll try and get the solo later but I'm not sure I can do it with my acoustic.

Oh, well, I think I did a damn good job on it, but you don't have to. Toy with it some and try to make it sound better. The intro was all I got, but it was worth it anyway.

It is very close to the actual solo but I know there are a few mistakes. The main problem I had was trying to figure out the downward and upward scales that Bradley plays really fast. I wrote them out as best as I could but I know they're missing several notes. I have found that just sliding down the strings sounds good but I don't think this is how it's really played. e------------------------------------------------------------------------- b------------------------------------------------------------------------- g-------------------9--b11--11--9--8--8-6-b8----6--6-6-4------------------ d-------------9-h11--------------------------------------6-4-2------------ a--7----9-h11--------------------------------------------------4-2-------- e------------------------------------------------------------------------- e-----------------7--9-7-----------------------------9-7----9-7----------- b------------------------9-7----------------------b9-----b9-----9-7------- g------------4-6-------------9-6---------5---5---------------------------- d------2-4-6---------------------9-6---6---6------------------------------ a--2-4-------------------------------9------------------------------------ e------------------------------------------------------------------------- After this is just leads back into the chorus.
