Song lyrics:
TUNING: Down 1/2 step Intro riff is also used in the verses. [e:------------------------------------------------------------------ B:-------------2----------------------3-------------4-----5---0----- G:-------4---------4------------2----------------------------------- D:----4------4---------4-----5------5------------6------6---------5- A:-2----------------------2----------------------------------------- E:--------------------------------------------7--------------------- e:-------------2------- B:-------3------------- G:-----------4--------- D:----5---------------- A:-2------------------- E:---------------------] Play this until the prechorus, where he says,"'cause nobody's losin'", at which point you play: [e:--------------------------2---2---2-2--2-2--2--2-- B:-5---5---5-5--5-5--5--5---3---3---3-3--3-3--3--3-- G:-6---6---6-6--6-6--6--6---4---4---4-4--4-4--4--4-- } Play 3x D:-7---7---7-7--7-7--7--7---5---5---5-5--5-5--5--5-- A:-4---4---4-4--4-4--4--4---2---2---2-2--2-2--2--2-- E:--------------------------------------------------] Now you play this when he says,"It's like giants falling down." [e:----------------------------------------------- B:-5-----5-----5-5--5-5---5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5- G:-7-----7-----7-7--7-7---7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7- D:-7-----7-----7-7--7-7---7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7- A:-5-----5-----5-5--5-5---5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5- E:-----------------------------------------------] * Right about where the asterisk is, the lead guitar comes in with the pickup riff show below (with distortion), and continues on with a riff similar to the Intro/verse riff. [e:--------------------------------------------------------- B:----------------------2-----------------------3---------- G:----------------4-----------------------2---------------- D:-------------4------4----------------5------5------------ A:---0-2-0--2----------------0-2-0--2----------------0-2-0- E:-2-----------------------2-----------------------2------- e:------------------------------------2---------- B:-------4-----5--4--0----------3---------------- G:----------------------------------4------------ D:----6------6---------------5------------------- A:------------------------2----------------0-2-0- E:-7-------------------------------------2-------] The 2nd verse is the same riff as the first verse, only you drop the last note or two in each measure. After the second chorus, there's a bridge that is similar to the verse riff shifted up two frets. [e:------------------------------------------------------------------ B:-------------4----------------------5-------------6-----7---6----- G:-------6---------6------------4----------------------------------- D:----6------6---------6-----7------7------------7------7----------- A:-4----------------------4----------------------------------------- E:--------------------------------------------9--------------------- e:---------------------------------------------------------------- B:-------------5--------------------4----------------------5------ G:-------6--------------------6---------6------------4------------ D:-----------7-------------6------6---------6-----7------7-------- A:----7-----------------4----------------------4------------------ E:-5-------------------------------------------------------------- e:-------------------------------------------- B:-------6-----7---6------------------8------- This last measure is G:------------------------------6------------- unique and I couldn't D:----7------7----------------------7--------- come up with the exact A:---------------------------7---------------- chord, so this is just E:-9----------------------5------------------- a guess.] Other these eight measures another guitar plays: [e:--------------------------------------------------------------- B:--------------------------------------------------------------- G:-6--6--6---6-6---6----4--4--4---4-4---4----3--3--3---3-3---3--- D:--------------------------------------------------------------- A:--------------------------------------------------------------- E:--------------------------------------------------------------- e:--------------------------------------------------------------- B:-5--5--5---5-5---5----6--6--6---6-6---6----7--7--7---7-7---7--- G:--------------------------------------------------------------- D:--------------------------------------------------------------- A:--------------------------------------------------------------- E:--------------------------------------------------------------- e:----------------------------------------------- B:-9--9--9---9-9---9----12--12--12---12-12---14-- G:----------------------------------------------- D:----------------------------------------------- A:----------------------------------------------- E:-----------------------------------------------] The outro is a series of chords that fades out. To play them just take the same shapes you used in the Intro and strum the strings like this: [e:------------------------------------------------ B:-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3- G:-4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2- D:-4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5- A:-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2- E:------------------------------------------------ e:-------------------------2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2- B:-4--4--4--4--5--5--5--5--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3- G:-4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4- D:-6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5- A:-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2- E:-7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7-------------------------] LYRICS: Did you notice?
