Breakdown Chords by Plain White Ts ================================Intro======================================== The shimmering "Don Henley - Boys Of Summer" thing in the background is something along these lines : E-------------------------------|| B-5-4---5-4---5-4---5-4---5-4---|| G-----6-----6-----6-----6-----6-|| D-------------------------------|| A-------------------------------|| E-------------------------------|| ==========================Verse and intro==================================== Your basic 2-chord progression. Strum to the rhythm. Play them open for the intro, and then roll it back to single palm-muted notes for the verses. A C# A C# - ============================Pre-Chorus======================================= Open power chords. B C# B C# B C# A B Then this tasty little lick to transition into the chorus. E---------------|| B---------------|| G---------------|| D-----1-2--1----|| A-2-4---------2-|| E---------------|| ==============================Chorus:======================================== Simple power chords will suffice. I'll synch this up with the lyrics to give you a better feel for the rhythm. (A) (B) (B) (C#) I'm gonna drive and never ever slow down (A) (B) (B) (C#) I'm gonna drive until I break down (A) (B) (B) (C#) I'm packing my things and getting outta this town (A) (B) (B) (C#) I'm gonna drive until I break down. ============================Bridge & Solo==================================== The backing chords for the bridge and solo are the same as the verse. A C# A C# The solo is a total Nirvana scenario...it pretty much just follows the vocal pattern of the verses. E-------------------------------------------------|| B----------5~----------5-4~-----------------------|| G-4-6-4-6-----4-6-4-6-------4-6-4-6-4---4-6-6-6--6|| D-------------------------------------6-----------|| A-------------------------------------------------|| E-------------------------------------------------|| E-----------------------------------------------------|| B---------/9~~---------5-4-5--4-----------------------|| G-4-6-4-6-----4-6-4-6-----------4h6-4~~---------------|| D-------------------------------------------1-2--1----|| A---------------------------------------2-4---------2-|| E-----------------------------------------------------|| Then back into the chorus. ============================================================================= That's pretty much all the parts. There are some little harmonics and other accentuations that I didn't bother tabbing. Hope it works out for y'all. Garrett Sales.
