scott's right: this is a great song. it is played on acoustic, but it's standard tuning: eBGDAE. it's also in barre chords. you only need 6 barre chords anyway, and they are B, A#mindim, G#, G#min, F#, and open E. here they are in finger placing (in order): e 7 6 4 4 2 0 B 7 6 4 4 2 0 G 8 6 5 4 3 1 D 9 8 6 6 4 2 A 9 7 6 6 4 2 E 7 6 4 4 2 0 listen to the cd to get the rhythm. intro: BBxBBBxBBBxBBBx 1st Verse: BBBxBBBxBBBxBBBx Today's the... G#G#G#xG#G#G#xG#G#G#xG#G#G#x The night... EEExEEExF#F#F#xF#F#F#x Red light... BBBxBBBxBBBxBBBx ...mausoleum. (the drums enter and the palm muting ends) BBB BBB BBB BBB It's a... G#G#G# G#G#G# G#G#G# G#G#G# Stuffed in... EEE EEE F#F#F# F#F#F# With a... BBB BBB BBB BBB ...call. 1st Chorus: EE EEE EEE EEE Give me... F#F#F# F#F#F# F#F#F# F#F#F# Satisfaction... EEE EEE EEE EEE What's the... F#F#F# F#F#F# F#F#F# F#F#F# Economy sized... BBB BBB BBB BBB ...hope. 2nd verse: BBB BBB BBB BBB When I... G#G#G# G#G#G# G#G#G# G#G#G# I wanted... EEE EEE F#F#F# F#F#F# Oh, but... BBB BBB BBB BBB ...way. BBB BBB BBB BBB Then I... G#G#G# G#G#G# G#G#G# G#G#G# To tell... EEE EEE F#F#F# F#F#F# When all... BBB BBB BBB BBB ...you. 2nd chorus: EEE EEE EEE EEE Give me... F#F#F# F#F#F# F#F#F# F#F#F# Satisfaction... BB A#mindimA#mindim G#minG#min F#F# E EE EE F# F#F# F#F# 'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout a brand new hope. One I've never known, & now I know it's... BB BBB BBB BBB ...all that I wanted. Repeat the verse one more time and go back into the 1st chorus and then repeat the walkdown 3 times. Then you just end on continuous B's. And that's the song!
