When the verse starts, it sounds like the 9th fret on the G-string is hit while half-muted. e|-7--| B|-8--| G|-9--| D|-9--| A|-7--| E|----| Then, after two 'bars', a tremolo-y, or wah-wah sounding guitar and another guitar start to follow the bass notes: e|-12---10----8----7--| B|-12---10----8----7--| G|-12---11----9----8--| D|-14---12----10---9--| A|-14---12----10---9--| E|-12---10----8----7--| And e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-9~---7~----5~---4~--------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------ Chorus 1 ------------------ The chorus basically follows the intro-riff again. The same chords as in the verse can be used under this. ------------------ Verse 2 ------------------ The same as verse 1, but the Em chord is left out the second time. I guess you'll notice. Again, the chords are played while another guitar plays just one or two notes of these chords. ------------------ Chorus 2 ------------------ Starts the same as chorus 1, but get's an extension somewhere around 2:18 which I believe is played like this: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----(8)---10/12---10\8-----8---10/12---10\8-----8---10/12-----8---10/12----| G|-(9)---------------------9--------------------9-------------9--------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-10\8-----8---10/12---10\8-----8---10/12-----8---10/12---10\8-----8---10/12| G|--------9--------------------9-------------9--------------------9----------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------| B|-10\8-----8---10/12---8~----| G|--------9-------------------| D|----------------------------| A|----------------------------| E|----------------------------| Under this extension, these chords fit: e|-5----8----7----10----8----7-| B|-5----8----8----10----8----7-| G|-5----9----9----11----9----8-| D|-7----10---9----12----10---9-| A|-7----10---7----12----10---9-| E|-5----8---------10----8----7-| ---------------- Bridge ---------------- Then there is this awesome bridge which features Josh Homme and some choir- like part. I think this part only has the chords which are also used in the verse. ---------------- Chorus 3/Outro ---------------- Chorus comes in again, while Josh is still singing. After a while, just before the chorus vocals stop, an additional guitar starts following the bass notes of the chords and adds some additional notes. Ends with the Em again. ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
