And back into the verse.

Then the Pre-Chorus:

Basically just chords:

A5 Em F

Everyone's looking for something

A5 Em F G5

Wanting their piece of the pie

A5 Em F

Searching for their slice of heaven

Em G (E) A5

I gotta have mine, yeah mine....And you're the one I want

|---------------------------3-|--------------|

And back into the verse, again.

Goes into Pre-Chorus and the Chorus again with variations, until the end of

the chorus, and instead of just going C#m, C. It follows the next chord

progression into the breakdown:

C#m / / / / C / / / / Em / / / / G / / / / Asus2 / / / /

There are a few rhythm fills in there, that you can get just by picking

around on the chords.

(Ends with a trill on the D string, 4th to 7th frets)

Now comes the breakdown:

|-----------------|--------------|----------------|----5----5-5~~-|

|-----------------|--------------|----------------|----5----5-5~~-|

|-----------2-----|----4---2-2---|---------2------|----4----------|

|-------4-----4~~-|--4---4-4-4---|-----4-----4~~--|--4---4--------|

|-----4---4-----0h|2-------2-2---|---4---4------0h|2--------------|

|-0h2-------------|------------0h|-2--------------|---------------|

This repeats with slight variation, then the las measure before the guitar

solo comes in, play an E power chord in this form:

E-0

B-5

G-4

D-2

A-x

E-x

Then comes the solo, and you basically continue the same chords/pattern as

the above figure. When it kicks into an almost double time, just strum the

chords in rhythm with the drums.

Then right before you go back to the introduction lick, you play an

ascending chord figure, that goes

B5 C5 C#5

Then you're back to the opening part.

|----------------------------|

|----------------------------|

|---7---7----7---------------|

|---7---7----7---------------|

|-0-5-0-5-0-/5-4-2-0-2-4-0---|

|--------------------------0-|

Then you repeat the chorus, in a drum-fill ridden half time thing.

Then the chorus comes in normal.

The triplet part goes like this:

|------------------|

|------------------|

|------------------|

|------------------|

|--/11-9-7-5-4-2---|

|----------------0-|

Chorus continues to repeat with variations, until a new lead rhythm figure

can be heard. It repeats, and begins on the upbeat of 3 (hence the pickup

bar in the next figure.)

|--------|------------------------|

|--------|-----------------5-5-5--|

|--------|-----------------4-4-4--|

|------4-|-7---------------2-2-2--|

|--5-7---|-----4-7----------------|

|--------|---5-----5-7-0----------|

This repeats several times, until it is just pouning chords with no melody.

D5 A5 E5

And fills after each time this is played. The first fill goes something

like this:

|--------------------------|

|--T12-p-0-h-5-T12-p-0-h-5-|

|--------------------------|Repeats several times, rapidly.

|--------------------------|

|--------------------------|

|--------------------------|

Second fill:

|----------T12p0h7-|

|--T12p0h5---------|

|------------------|Repeated several times, rapidly.

|------------------|

|------------------|

|------------------|

Third fill

Hold this-| While tapping this with right index & middle

|---------|-------------------------------|

|---5-----|-9-(p5)-10-(p5)-11/14\\12~~~\\---|

|---------|-------------------------------|

|---5-----|-9-(p5)-10-(p5)-11/14\\12~~~\\---|

4th Fill

W/BAR**************|

Ends by playing 11 D5 powerchords.
