That's the basic riff for most of the song. When I went to see them live though the 
played it like this:


         Am
               |---PM---|       |--PM--|          |---------PM----------------|
e|--------0---0------------0---0------------0---0-----------------------------|

Obviously it can be played either way, it's down to you as to what you think sounds 
easier to play.

In the verse after a while it then goes like this:

"There is a little punk rock mafia
Everywere you go" (00:56)
      Dm         Am          Dm          Am          Dm

The open strings played here basically imitate the bass. The whole song is pretty much 
two riffs just alternating between each other, but for the bridge at 02:48

"Of course we immigrants wanna sing all night long"

Again it can be played either way, down to personal preference.

That's it pretty much, any comments or ratings very much appreciated :o)
