Main Riff/Intro

(Play the Lead Guitar part twice slightly muted and quietly then for the next 2 times 
it out with a more 'fuller' sound)

(The G chord is not meant to be palm muted in the second part of the pre-chorus by the 
(thats the '5' chord incase you didn't know your chords))


Chorus

e|---------------------------------|--------------------------------------||
B|---------------------------------|--------------------------------------||
G|---------------------------------|-------------------------------------o|| X 2
D|-----3---5-5-0-1--3-----3-3-3p0--|-------3---5-5-0-1--3-----3-3-3------o||

D|-5-----5---5-0-1--------3-3------|---5-----5---5-0-1--------3-3---------||

(As far as I can tell I think that both guitars play this when it comes to the chorus 
if you want to play chords it works out just fine)

Here are the chords for the chorus

e|-----------------|-----------------|
B|-----------------|-----------------|
G|-----------------|-----------------| X 4
D|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-|
A|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-|
D|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-|

Now it's back to the Verse.
(The rhythm guitar is just the same however the lead guitar is slightly different, you 
out the first 8 bars then you come in and play the lead part twice)


Then it's the Pre-chorus + Pre-chorus 2 for both guitars


Then back to the Chorus


...and then the Bridge

(basically pre-chorus mixed with new rhythm part)

Bridge (Lead)

e|----------------------------------|------------------------------------||
B|---44--44--44--44--33--33--33--33-|------------------------------------||
G|-55--55--55--55--33--33--33--33---|-----------------------------------o|| X 2
D|----------------------------------|--5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5----------o||
A|----------------------------------|--5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5-3b(0.25)--||
D|----------------------------------|--5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5-----------||

(The (0.25) is just a small quarter bend)


Bridge (Rhythm)

e|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------||
B|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------||
G|-------------------------------------|----------------------------5---o|| X 2
D|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---|---5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5--5---o||
A|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---|---5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5--3----||
D|-------------------------------------|---5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5-------||

(the second part is almost the same as the Lead Guitar's but to round it off 
better play a C bar chord)


Now Back to Intro

(Playing only the quiet muted part for the 1st 4 bars)


Then bang into the Chorus

and then the Outro

Outro (Lead)

e|-------------------------------------------||
B|-------------------------------------------||
G|---------------------------3b5(p)---o|| X 4||
D|--5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5----------o-------||
A|--5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5------------------||
D|--5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5------------------||

the (p) is a pinched harmonic :)

Outro (Rhythm)

e|---------------------------------||
B|---------------------------------||
G|----------------------------5---o|| X 2
D|---5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5--5---o||
A|---5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5--3----||
D|---5---5--X3-5--5---5--3-5-------||

Taa Daa!

Enjoy :)
