_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] Ok, for your intro slash first half of your verse, start off with an A type power chord,
open A, second fret on your D and G.
_ If you're going to do it finger style, you want to pluck your A and B strings at the same time.
_ [G#m] _ And you want to hammer on to your first fret on your B string to complete that A minor chord.
So, _ you're _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ just going to arpeggiate up your G, D and A strings and then your B, G and D.
So, [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] you're going to move to a G, _ pluck in your high and low E at the same time. _ _
Then you're going to arpeggiate up your B and G string. _ _ _
_ Then move to a D power [D#] chord, [C] pluck your D and E at the same [C#] time.
_ And arpeggiate up your B, G and D strings.
_ _ _ _ _ So all together.
_ [D#] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So if you want to do it pick style, you just arpeggiate the chords.
Same chord changes, same pattern. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now the second half of the verse is going to maintain the same chord [D#m] shapes, [D#] but the
pattern is going to change up a little bit.
So what you want to do _ is you want to strike the A chord, _ _ then you want to drop your first
finger down on the first fret of your [B] B string. _
_ [D#] _ _ You want to pick out that little pattern. _
So what that [B] will be is first fret on your B string, _ [A#] open B _ and then [G#] second fret on your G. _
_ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ Then you're going to go back into the A chord.
_ _ _ [G#] Strike the A once, then strike the open D [F#] and G.
Then to the G chord, _ _ _ [C#] _ _
then to the D major.
All down strums from here on out.
Let me run that all [G#m] together slow now.
_ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[G#] Okay for the chorus, it's going to start off on this D5 chord.
Open D, second fret G, third fret B, open high E. _ _
It's going to run into a similar pattern as the verse. _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ You're going to dump your first finger down on your high E, _ _ _ [D#m] open high E, _ and then you're
going to strike that third fret on your [C#m] B string. _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ Then you're going to go from your G string to your E [G#] string _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ into a C add [B] 9, _ _ arpeggiate
up off your high E, [C#] _ _
then go [F#] to a G chord.
_ Arpeggiate up from your high [A#m] E.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ So that whole pattern all together slow.
[C#m] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You're then going to move into this power chord type progression.
[C#] It's going to go to a D, D major, _ _ [D#] _
E power chord, [B] _ F power chord, C power chord, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ G power chord. _
_ Then you're going to do a half step bend on the third fret low E, _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
two strikes on [Em] your
F power chord again, and then back up to the G power [F#] chord.
_ _ [B] Then back into your [G#] verse. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ _ So [C#] all together slow on that part. _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
