INFORMATION
===================================================
Beautiful song. Some simple power chords with synthesizers and guitar
riffs that I couldn't pick up. Knock yourself out try and figure them
if you're feeling adventurous.
If you want to play acoustic version, the chord progression is
C -> G -> Am -> F in Eb tuning.
DISTORTION TUNING: Standard or drop D
CLEAN/ACOUSTIC Gt.: Eb (every string down 1 half step)
EFFECTS: Light distortion, with medium sustain
This is what I have on my Metal Zone:
Level: 9 o'clock
Low: Max
High: 10
Mid freq: Max
Middle: 12
Dist: 11
===================================================
BEGIN: Synthesizers (play chords B->F#->G#->E)
and riffs for 4 measures
===================================================
Cso much mGore about you that you never let them see
You turn aAmway
But nFot to me
CI know how they tried to take you
GHeld you up Amand meant to break you down
But you Fcan't be
CFor so long I tried to reach you
I Gknow I'm almost there
I'm Amclose enouFgh for you to see
===================================================
Clean/Acoustic guitar can keep playing this progression.
Basically: B5 = C, F#5 = G, G#5 = Am, E5 = F.
This is where distorted power chords come in.

B5 -> A#5 -> G#5

MISCELLANEOUS
===================================================
Most of the percussion is played in this pattern:
x x x x x x x x
s s
B B B
x = 8th note cymbal
s = snare
b = bass drum
You can accompany with an acoustic guitar and a clean guitar.
Clean gt. plays chords down, down, down, down strumming pattern (8th notes).
The real song uses a clean guitar. I think it sounds better with acoustic.
