Variation on Verse Listen to the rhythm
G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|11-----33----------4------------|
E|------------------------22222222|
Then you play the main verse riff just once again
Chorus Riff Again x2
Bridge- now I’m not really sure about this part I know when you go up to the 11th fret,
for sure, but mainly I just try to listen to the chord changes and switch between the
and 4th fret and fidget around.
G|------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------those are 11’s not 1’s----|
A|66666666444444444666666661111111111/4-----------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
Rest for however long, it’s pretty clear when you come back in
A|444444444444444444|
and you just play that note for sometime while “you’re sick” part is goin.
What I think sounds really cool is the last measures of the A|444| is if you play a C#
scale and come back down, you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to and it’s not in
song, but I think it sounds really good, and just in the last 2 measures, so you have to
at a reasonable tempo. I’ll tab out that scale in case you don’t know it/
G|-----35653---|
D|--346---643--| Remember totally optional, don’t do it if you can’t do
A|46---------64| it right
Then you play a variation on the chorus when the vocals come back in:
“We swing and we sway” I dunno if these are the right numbers, but listen for the chord changes
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------| x2
A|4444444444444333333333333311111111111110000000000000|
E|----------------------------------------------------|
Then you play the real chorus verse twice
Then there are some outro chords and the bass ends on A|4|
