On the 3rd line of every verse, the 10'th fret on the e gets lowered to the 9th e|-----9----------9----------9------9----------9----------9-------| B|-10x----10x-10x----10x-10x----10x----10X-10x----10x-10x---------| G|--7x-----7x--7x-----7x--7x-----7x-----7x--7x-----7x--7x---------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| And thats all I have prepared for you regarding the background guitar :D Guitar 1 (Lead) e|--10--9----------|-----------------| B|---------10~-----|--8--7--10~------| G|-----------------|-----------------| D|-----------------|-----------------| A|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------| ALL THAT BEING SAID, IF YOU WANT BOTH AT ONCE FOR THE INTRO ONLY (doesn't apply to verses) IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS (in case you only have one guitar): e|-----10-----9--------------------------------------| B|------------------10~~~--------8-----7-----10~~~---| G|---7----7-7---7-7------------7---7-7---7-----------| (Bar your D|---------------------------------------------------| finger on A|---------------------------------------------------| 7th of GBe) E|---------------------------------------------------| +---------------------+ | KEY! | | | | Chords (In Line) | | Lyrics | | Tabs (Not in Line) | +---------------------+ [Verse 1]
