THERE ARE LITTLE BITS IN THE VERSES SOMETIMES HERE THEY ARE:


(1)

e | ------ | 
b | ------ | 
g | -3---- | ---slight bend on the g string
d | ----4- | 
a | ------ | 
e | ------ | 

(2)

e | ------ | 
b | ------ | 
g | -4--3- | ---go ahead and whack a slight bend on these too
d | ------ | 
a | ------ | 
e | ------ | 


I WILL REFER TO THEM BELOW AS (1) AND (2)
IT IS THE EASIEST WAY I COULD THINK TO DO IT


------------------------------------------------------------------------


The intro is a frantically picked Abm for about 30 seconds,
then this happens:

e | ------------------------- | 
b | -------------------5~~~~~ | 
g | -(b9)-8--------11-8--6~~~~~ | 
d | -------6~~~~~------6~~~~~ | 
a | -7--6--6~~~~~(b9)-6--4~~~~~ | 
e | -------4~~~~~------------ | 

Carry on frantically picking C#m for a while,
then two single massive strums of Abm ,
and then...

            Ab5                  B5
