Repeat This rythmn figure until you hit the bridge to the chorus. The Bridge into the chorus has a bunch of power chords which are held. Listen to the tune and you`ll get the picture.... Chorus (Lyrics go `HELPLESS....!`) Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 A repeat 3x| A G | A G A e----------------------------------- B----------------------------------- G---------------------*------*------ D-------7p5---------5-*5-5-5-*5-5-7- A-----------7-6-7-6----5-5-5--5-5-7- E|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------|-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3--|-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-5- By this I mean play Part 1 three times, then play Part 2. Then you play Part 1 three times again and finish the chorus with Part 3. Work with me on this one... I`m not sure about the part 1 section... but this is close.... Now return to ryth. Fig 1 amd play it till you hit the chorus a second time... do the chorus again and then play rythmn Fig 1 again until you hit the little Newstead bass solo, after which you hit a second bridge. I prefer to enter into this section with a jumping, banging pick slide. In other words I bounce the pick off the low E, A and D while sliding the edge down the fretboard... Anyway it sounds real cool... Bridge 2 |
