Tuning:Standard EADGBE

The main riff is really simple and repeats itself in the verses:

VERSES

e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|   X2
A|----9--9--9----11--11--11--11--------------|
E|----0--0--0-----0---0---0---0--------------|

e|-------------------------------------------|

G|-------------------------------------------|  X2
D|----9--9--9----11--11--11--11--------------|
A|----0--0--0-----0---0---0---0--------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|

Repeat the above as many times as necassary:

CHORUS: Listen to the song to get the rhythm, but
generally each chord is strumed 4 times, then E
is strummed more.

     Bmaj      Amaj      Emaj

e|----7---------5---------0-----------------------------------|
B|----7---------5---------0-----------------------------------|
G|----8---------6---------1-----------------------------------|
D|----9---------7---------2-----------------------------------|
A|----9---------7---------2-----------------------------------|
E|----7---------5---------0-----------------------------------|

In the verses after the chorus, John uses a little distortion but the notes are the same:

D|----9--9--9----11--11--11--11--------------|

The solo is based on the E major scale played at an ocatve (i.e. at the twelfth fret)

D|------------------11-13-14-----------------------------|

E|-12-14-------------------------------------------------|
