This song is remotely simple, but I'm not going to claim that this is the best way of
it. I've been dying to play an acoustic version of this for a while, so it's just a simple
diagram with some fills for emphasis.
Also, apologies for the masses of writing under the chords, they're basically just
you how I choose to play it - ignore them if you wish! And sorry if you can't understand my
of writing this chord structure.. it does make sense, don't worry. Enjoy :) x

Intro

Em F#

(I'm sure when you listen to the song you'll be able to figure out where it changes with
two chords)

(0:26) Em F# (pm)

(0:37) F# (pm)

(I choose to palm mute this bit to emphasise the lead riff, so you don't have to if you
want to, and if you think that using minor chords works better, I really don't mind,
is just a base for the notes used!)

(this bit is a little bit hazy because it's played reasonably fast, so I'm not entirely
if it's correct - here is the rhythm that I use)

(It works best if you keep up a rhythm with these chords, and any which I've put in
you don't necessarily need to play for it to sound good, they're just for added effect. And
the verse, you can just use the normal chord shape, because the barr?d chords will start 
hurt your hands after a while.. but it's much easier to use them for the chorus!)

             B (x2444x@1)      F#It's (244322@1)a new dawn

             (C) B(A) (x2444x@1)F#This (244322@1)is a better way

F# (244322@1)                                             EThey (022100@1)are standing by, no time to hide, no meeting half way

   F#I (244322@1)know you really tried to understand
                   F#This (244322@1)is a new way

(For the above bit, I just keep repeating the F# since you'd need power chords to get 
song perfect)

Outro

(from 3:28) F#

(3:50) F# (244322@1) B (x2444x@1) E (022100@1) F# (244322@1)(3:56) A (x02220@1)  F# (244322@1) A (x02220@1) F# (244322@1)(4:01) B (x2444x@1)  A (x02220@1) Ab (xx1114@1) F# (244322@1)B (x2444x@1)       F#It's (244322@1)a new dawn

Apologies if the outro is wrong, but then you only really need that bit if you're doing
duet with the lead as well. Thank you, and enjoy! x
