if you wanna a little explanation about the chords (i mean how do i play them)
check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpfXKPAsvHo

Tuning:EADGBe

for the rythm

the real struming has a lot of variations so this is the general idea

|D=down     |
|U=up       |

Notes between () are played softer...

.........D....D..U.D..D...D.U.D...D..U.............................
e|-------3----3--0-0--0---0-0--------0-----------------------------|
B|-------3----3--3-3--3---3-0-0---0--0-----------------------------|
G|----0-(0)---0--2-2--2---2-0-0---0--0--------------0--------------|
D|--2---(2)---2-(0)0--0---0-2-2---2--2------------4----------------|
A|--------------------------3-3---3--3-----3--3/5------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

That's basically the verse. While the intro is played this part's played about 8 times
then...


.........D....D.U.D..D...D.U.D...D..U.............................
e|-------0----0-0-0--0---0-0-0------0-----|----------------------|
B|-------1----1-1-1--1---1-0-0---0--0-----|----------------------|
G|-------2----2-2-2--2---2-0-0---0--0-----|----------0-----------|
D|----2--2----2-0-0--0---0-2-2---2--2-----|--------4-------------|
A|--0---(0)---0-2-2--2---2-3-3---3--3-----|-3--3/5---------------|
E|----------------------------------------|----------------------|
..........................................|.....Slide part*......|

This is some kind of chorus, actually I play this chord for the chorus, and its played 
times (for the last time dont play the slide part*)

then...

e|-------------------------------------|
B|-0-0-0-0--0--/--0---0-0--------------|
G|-0-0-0-0--0--/--0---0-0--------------|
D|-2-4-4-4--4--/--2---2-2--------------|  x 4
A|-3-5-5-5--5--/--3---3-3--------------|
E|-------------------------------------|

after that repeat everthing (I mean the rythm) as the intro...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the 2nd guitar riff

It's pretty easy it's just a G scale

you can do it wherever you want (just hit the same notes)

e|----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|
D|--9-9--7-7--------------------9---------|
A|-------------10-10--9-9--7-7----10------|
E|----------------------------------------|

e|----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------|
G|------------7-7-------------------------|
D|--9-9--7-7-------9-9--------------------|
A|---------------------10-----------------|
E|----------------------------------------|

do it twice every time you hear it...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now some piano parts translated to guitar


after 2nd guitar riff ends the piano do somethin' like this...

e|--------------------------------------------|
B|---7-8-9--7--8------------------------------|
G|----------------7------7--7/9---------------|
D|-------------------9------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|

wait for the next round...

e|---14-15-17---14-15---------19---15-17--14-15--12-14-----------------|
B|--------------------15-------------------------------15--------------|
G|------------------------16------------------------------16-14-12-11-7|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|--------------------------------------|--------------------|
B|--/-10-10-10--10-\-8-/-10-10--10--8---|--------------------|
G|--/-9--9--9---9--\-7-/-9--9---9---7---|---------------10---|
D|--------------------------------------|----------7--9----9-|
A|--------------------------------------|--7-9-10------------|
E|--------------------------------------|--------------------|
........................................|...scale*...........|

for the second time you play this last part don't play the scale*
then he does some piano chords (i dont know how to translate it to guitar)

and a little "fast" (just a little bit faster than the others)I'm not sure about this scale...

e|--------------------------------------|
B|--------------------7-8-10------------|
G|----------------7-9-------------------|
D|----------7-9-10----------------------|
A|----7-9-10----------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------|

then he does more stuff that I couldn't translate to guitar
and this last F+cking high riff

e|-------22----------21-------19------15--------------------|
B|---20------20--19-----19-17-----17--15--------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------|

Im tired so I cant tell that its 100 percent right
judge it by yourself and rate it please...
