Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Intro - 1st guitar:
Note: to achieve the sound of both guitars on only one,
strum the BB and E MajorE strings open while playing the power chords.
You can also add the 4th fret on the BB string during the B5,
but this takes a little bit more skill.

Chorus:
Note: The first three chords can just be an A5, and you can bring
the entire riff here onto the A augmentedA string that way by subtracting 5.
