READ: In the verses the chords are played in a specific way. Set It Off uses a down stroke on the first three notes of chord than a small up stroke on the 2nd note then strums the whole chord. After the F#'s 2nd strum it starts the strum on the A and B. Listen to the song to get the rhythm, it's pretty simple. Do this in the verses until the third verse, the third verse they strum every note. Like this. E:------0-------0-------0 B:------0-------0-------0 G:------1----4--4-------1 D:---2--2---4-4-4----4--4 A:--2-2-2--2----2---4-4-4 E:-0----0----------2----2 Capo on 2nd fret.
