Notes: Chords and accents (where applicable) on top, note values on bottom

(see key below). Use a pretty heavy chorus effect throughout.

Intro and Refrain - use light strumming; barely hit those A chords

at the end of the first two measures. Let the open E chord ring.

Verse - use pick-hand muting, but hit the highest note (B) sharply.

The "2T" indicates that it's easiest to fret the F# with your thumb.

The (0) indicates that the open A is used here only at the very

beginning of each Verse.

Chorus - use fret-hand muting by alternately releasing pressure on

the chord. The accents indicate when the chord sounds through (i.e.,

when it should be fretted).

Key:

|. = dotted quarter note

| = quarter note } = quarter rest

_| = single eighth note

|_| = eighth notes % = eighth rest

|=| = sixteenth notes

V = big accent v = moderate accent
