Then play the pre-chorus once, and come into the chorus exactly the way it is played the first time. Then it plays the muted post-chorus part (which is played all the way through), which, after having been played one and a half times, is followed by a repeatedly strummed G power chord. Then comes the solo (The chords behind which are just the chorus pattern of F-C-G-G played four times): e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------8-10^12^10-10^12^10-8-10-8---| G|-------------------------4/5\4-----------7-9-------------------------------| D|---3-3-3-2----------3-2-----------5-7/9------------------------------------| A|-----------3-------------------/7------------------------------------------| E|-------------3---1---------------------------------------------------------| e|---13-13-13-13-12----13/15-------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------13------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| After the solo, it goes back to the chorus part, which is followed by the pre-chorus played three-fourths of one times, and then the A goes quickly to a 2-strum G and ends on the A. ************************************ KEY TO SUCCESS: | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | ^ Bend ************************************ E-mail me^if you got any questions or tabbing suggestions/requests!
