The Chorus A and B are repeated as shown above and then goes into this Breakdown |--------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|-----| |--------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|-----| |--------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|-----| |--------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|-x02-| |--------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|-----| |--7----8----10----12----7----8----10----12--|--7--8--10--12--7--8--10--12---|-----| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-7-7-8-8-10-10-12-12-7-7-8-8-10-10-12-12-7-7-8-8-10-10-12-12-7-7-8-8-10-10-12-12--| This latter of the breakdown is double-picked and is also played twice, listen to the song to get the right rythym and times each note is played. After this Intro B is played twice and Intro C which is followed by a variation of Chorus A which goes like this. Chorus C |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |--1-1----1-1--1----1-1-1--1----1--1--0--3--1--0--| |--1-1----1-1--1----1-1-1--1----1--1--0--3--1--0--| |--1-1----1-1--1----1-1-1--1----1--1--0--3--1--0--| |...| |..pm..| |.| |..pm...| This is then followed by Intro C then Chorus C, which in turn is followed by Chorus B. Then the Song then finishes on Intro B and C and then finally Intro to end the song. This is near perfect but if you have any comments or improvements then feel free to email them to me, if unsure of rythm or number of times a note is played just listen to the song...
