Chorus Chords

D A G D

e|-0---0---3---0--

b|-3---2---3---3--

g|-2---2---0---2--

d|-0---2---0---0--

a|-0---0---5---0--

D|-0-------5---0--

in the chorus, Play each chord at first with a delayed, slow, strong strum then carry on with the rythm...

listen to the acoustic version of the song to get wat i mean.

and if u want u can palm mute the chord a little before u play the delayed strum, if u get wat i mean...

look at the other acoustic version tab for the solo.

have fun
