Chorus(I’m not sure if this is the exact rhythm, but you get the idea)

G|----------------------------------------------------|

D|----------------------------------------------------| x2

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|
