No matter, nothing changes in that part as it is. So, just play the rythm. After the solo is done, Dave does his Vocal solo. As he does this, Nick hits the High Hat 16 times (i.e. Hold for 16), you hear a Drum Roll and David slides up and down the bass neck. There is a sudden stop/percussive pause and then the bass drum hits begin. Repeat this 14 times |Hold for 16 |Drum Roll| I------------------------------|--------------|---------| I------------------------------|--------------|---------| I--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-1-1-1-3-3---|--------------|---------| I------------------------------|--------------|15(slide)| |Bass drum starts |-------------------------------|------------| |-------------------------------|------------| |-------------------------------|-1-1-1-3-3--| |-3--3--3-10--15--0--X--3-------|------------| |slide up | |then down| |then stop| Pre-Chorus I----------------------------------------------------I I----------------------------------------------------I I--------6--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------I I--3--1---------------------------------------0-1-3--I Chorus I------------------------------------------------------ I------------------------------------------------------ I-----------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-4-3---------- I-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------0---0-1-3-3-3- ------------------------------------------------I ------------------------------------------------I ------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-3-4-5-------I -3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------0-1-3--I I------------------------------------------------------ I------------------------------------------------------ I-----------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-4-3---------- I-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------0---0-1-3-3-3- ------------------------------------------------I ------------------------------------------------I ------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-3-4-5-------I -3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------0-1-3--I outro I------------------------------------------------------ I------------------------------------------------------ I-----------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-4-3---------- I-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------0---0-1-3-3-3- ------------------------------------------------I ------------------------------------------------I ------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-3-4-5-------I -3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------0-1-3--I I------------------------------------------------------ I------------------------------------------------------ I-----------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-4-3---------- I-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------0---0-1-3-3-3- ------------------------------------------------I ------------------------------------------------I ------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-3-4-5-------I -3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------0-1-3--I I------------------------------------------------------ I------------------------------------------------------ I-----------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-4-3---------- I-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------0---0-1-3-3-3- ------------------------------------------------I ------------------------------------------------I ------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-3-4-5-------I -3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------0-1-3--I I------------------------------------------------------ I------------------------------------------------------ I-----------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-4-3---------- I-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------0---0-1-3-3-3- ------------------------------------------------I ------------------------------------------------I ------------2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-4-3-4-5-------I -3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------0-1-3--I Final outro 2 times I----------------------------------------------I I----------------------------------------------I I-----------------1-3-0-----------------1-3-0--I I-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------I Last time I----------------------------------------------I I----------------------------------------------I I------------------1-3-0-----------------------I I-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------1-3--------------------I
