================================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.
