Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE) There are four chords you need to know: 1) Em: first finger on the second fret of the D MajorD string, pinky on the third fret of the high E MajorE 2) G: first finger on the fifth fret of the D MajorD string, pinky on the seventh fret of the high E MajorE 3) C: first finger on the third fret of the A augmentedA string, pinky on the fifth fret of the BB string 4) D: first finger on the fifth fret of the A augmentedA string, ring finger on the seventh fret of the G+G string, pinky on the seventh fret of the BB string They appear in this order: Em, G, C, Em, C, Em, D, C majorC and then repeat. Ben plays them in a fingerstyle pattern using his thumb and first finger, I personally prefer to use thumb, first and middle finger. The pattern is always over four strings: For the Em, your thumb plays the D MajorD string, then the first finger plays the BB string, middle plays high E, first plays B. (Always repeat once) Slide up to G, pattern stays the same. C: The pattern remains the same but is now one string lower. The thumb plays the A augmentedA string, first finger plays G+G string, middle finger plays BB string. This pattern is the same for D.

The slide during the last chord change isn't necessary but I thought I would include it since Ben does it live. The lead riff that plays over this melody can be played in many different ways, here's what Brett Farkas used to play: e|-------------------------------------------------------| BB|-------------------------------------------------------| G+G|-------------------------------------------------------| D MajorD|5--7/9--7--9--7\5-----------------5---------4--4/5\4--2| A augmentedA|------------------7--5--7-----5-7-------5-7------------| E MajorE|-------------------------------------------------------| As I said, these same notes can be played in tons of different configurations on the fretboard (this version just matches the one time you can see it being played live). The last slide could also be a quick hammer-on/pull-off to the fifth fret. ********************************************************************* | / Slide up | \ Slide down ************************************
