The two chords used are A5 and F (though in the live version he plays an Am instead of A5 where the riff would normally be, but I think the A5 works better in whole). A5 F5 e | --- | | -x- | B | -x- | | -1- | G | -2- | | -2- | D | -2- | | -3- | A | -0- | | --- | E | --- | | --- | Intro/Verse A5 F5 e---------------------- ---------------------- | B---------------------- ---------------------- | G--2---2---2222-2222--- x2 --2---2---2222-2222--- | x2 D-(2)-(2)----(2)--(2)-- -(3)-(3)----(3)--(3)-- | A---------------------- ---------------------- | E---------------------- ---------------------- | He uses a delay pedal, but since I don't have one, this is the general pattern. It sounds good to hit the notes in parenthesis occasionally when you're doing a solo guitar, or you could just strait up play the chords. Riff (sounds good with lots of reverb and some flange) e----------------------------------------------- | B----------------------------------------------- | G---0-2~----0-2x2h3p2-0----0-2~----0-2x2h3p2-0-- | D----------------------------------------------- | A-0-------0--------------0-------0-------------- | E-----------------------(1)-----(1)------------- | He doesn't actually play the 1st fret on the E string but I like to use it to keep the song in key while playing solo. And no... I didn't have the patience to work out the synth 'solo', but I'm fairly certain it's more or less an improv around Am pentatonic if you wanna have a go Lastly! there's a little modified progression right after the synth solo and right after the final chorus which goes: e-------------------------------------- | B-------------------------------------- | G--2222222222222222-------------------- | D--22222222222222223333333333335566---- | A--00000000000000003333333333335566---- | E------------------1111111111113344---- | A5 A5 All lyin across the ground, Try not to make no sound F5 F5 When two men goin break ya down, I said, Two men goin break ya down, I break A5 A5 All lyin across the ground, Tryin not to make no sound when F5 F5 Two men goin break ya down, I said, Two men goin break ya down, I break (riff)x2 A5 A5 I take down what I need, Cuz you know I need to breathe F5 F5 I'm tired of walking on another plane, Another plane cuz I feel insane, I...
