Intro: (Americaaa…Americaaaaa) Let the chords ring
E --0---------------3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B --1---------------2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G --0---------------3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D --2---------------0-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A --3---------------0-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse: I’ve not written this very rhythmically, but you should be able to get the idea.
The second bit (after the E5 is hit a few times) is in time with the words “*** yeah!” if that helps at all.
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D --9-9-9-9-9-9-9--7----9---9-9-9--7-7-7-7-7-7-7----7----------12---9--------------------
A --7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5----7---7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5-5----5----9----10---7---------------------
E -----------------------------------------------------------------7---------------------------------
Chorus:
The guitar riff goes like this:
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------7---9--------------------------------------------------------
A ---5-----7-----5---------7--10----5---7--------------------------------------------------------
E ---3-----5-----3---------5---8-------------------------------------------------------------------
Whereas the keyboard riff over the top goes like this:
E -15--12-------15--12-------15---12-----------------------------------------------------------
B -----------12------------12----------------------------------------------------------------------
G ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the fill riff that happens before everything cuts out in the middle section (after Slavery: *** yeah!)
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B ------8-----7-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G --------------------7--9--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D ---9-----9-----9----------7--9------------------------------------------------------------------
A ----------------------------------10--9------7-------------------------------------------------
E ------------------------------------------10----------------------------------------------------
Finally, the ending section is just the E5 (the first chord in the main riff) played in various different rhythms till it crashes out, AC/DC style.
If anyone could send me in the tab for the fast scale-climbing lead line I’d much appreciate it :).
