Korn - Thoughtless
Standard Tuning
Notes:
* If you're not playing power chords, you can substitute any G chord for Gm
if you like (but not the other way round, if you ask me).
* Playing the verse (G, A, A# chords) barre makes it close to original.
You can precede each chord with two quick strums on open or muted strings.
* You can play C# chord in the pre-chorus by sliding one step
up from the C chord preceding it:
(C#)
e|--0--|
B|--2--|
G|--0--|
D|--3--|
A|--4--|
E|--x--|
The effect is somewhat discordant but perhaps appropriate.
