Sorry man, but this isn't anywhere near how it's played. I'll try to find some time to put up the correct version. It's not standard chords, it's way up on the 7th fret, wierd chords. The chords are: (Listen for timing)
Verse:
x07907 x07900 x07990 x07900 x77900
Chorus:
079900 024400 002200 024400
Verse 2 Beginning: (Don't have my guitar here, so not completely sure) |--------------------------- |--------------------------- |4/6-6-6--4-4/6-6-6--6-6-4~- |4/6-6-6--4-4/6-6-6--6-6-4~- |2/4-4-4--2-2/4-4-4--4-4-2~- |---------------------------
Chords I play for the solo when doing it all accoustic:
E A D G B E 0 7 9 9 0 0 slide up to
0 10 12 12 0 0 slide down to
0 2 4 4 0 0 and SLOWLY slide back up to
0 7 9 9 0 0 which starts the last chorus.
