A#-2--------------0---------------

C#-0------------------------------

Guitar 1 plays these chords throughout the entire song. There is of

course the small changes in each chordm like leaving off the top string

to make it mellower or buzzing on the F chord. But these are the base

chords.

 

Main song

 

C#-4------4---4--x--------------

G#-5----5---5----5------7---7----

E--4--4----------6----6---6------

D#---------------7--7------------

A#-----------------------------

C#-----------------------------

Then the strumming comes in, with Guitar one just keeping up with those

two chords. Guitar two picks the pattern off of the same chords, though

the C# is an octave higher and the F has been switched to make it easier

to play (for me). Guitar 2 has the embellishments again, stuff like:

 

C#-2h4------------------

G#--5-------------------

F--4-------------------

E----------------------

B----------------------

D----------------------

And that sort of thing.

 

I hope that sounds right. To me it does, but I've been trying different

things for so long I may have just been desperate.
