================================Intro========================================

The shimmering "Don Henley - Boys Of Summer" thing in the background is something
along these lines :

E------------------------------- |  | 
B-5-4---5-4---5-4---5-4---5-4--- |  | 
G-----6-----6-----6-----6-----6- |  | 
D------------------------------- |  | 
A------------------------------- |  | 
E------------------------------- |  | 

==========================Verse and intro====================================

Your basic 2-chord progression.  Strum to the rhythm.  Play them open for the
intro, and then roll it back to single palm-muted notes for the verses.

A   C#   A   C#  -  

============================Pre-Chorus=======================================

Open power chords.

B  C#  B  C#  B  C#  A  B

Then this tasty little lick to transition into the chorus.

E--------------- |  | 
B--------------- |  | 
G--------------- |  | 
D-----1-2--1---- |  | 
A-2-4---------2- |  | 
E--------------- |  | 

==============================Chorus:========================================

Simple power chords will suffice.  I'll synch this up with the lyrics to give
you a better feel for the rhythm.

( A )      ( B )                  ( B )  ( C# )
I'm gonna drive and never ever slow down
( A )      ( B )           ( B )   ( C# )
I'm gonna drive until I break down
( A )           ( B )                ( B )        ( C# )
I'm packing my things and getting outta this town
( A )      ( B )           ( B )   ( C# )
I'm gonna drive until I break down.

============================Bridge & Solo====================================

The backing chords for the bridge and solo are the same as the verse.

A  C#  A  C#

The solo is a total Nirvana scenario...it pretty much just follows the vocal
pattern of the verses.  

E------------------------------------------------- |  | 
B----------5~----------5-4~----------------------- |  | 
G-4-6-4-6-----4-6-4-6-------4-6-4-6-4---4-6-6-6--6 |  | 
D-------------------------------------6----------- |  | 
A------------------------------------------------- |  | 
E------------------------------------------------- |  | 

E----------------------------------------------------- |  | 
B---------/9~~---------5-4-5--4----------------------- |  | 
G-4-6-4-6-----4-6-4-6-----------4h6-4~~--------------- |  | 
D-------------------------------------------1-2--1---- |  | 
A---------------------------------------2-4---------2- |  | 
E----------------------------------------------------- |  | 

Then back into the chorus.
