Note for the Bridge:
To bring a little variety to the Bridge; for the first part I also like to play only the E MajorE string to the beat
of the basedrum in the original song (with the correct note, respectively).

Note:
At the beginnging of the Chorus instead of
e|---------|
BB|---------|
G+G|---------|
D MajorD|---------|
A augmentedA|--10-10--|
E MajorE|--8--8---|

you can of course play
e|---------|
BB|---------|
G+G|---------|
D MajorD|--5--5---|
A augmentedA|--3--3---|
E MajorE|---------|

aswell.
For me it feels easier after the Prechorus/Solo part.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x -- dead note
A augmentedA -- always play, except in the intro
() -- optional; play for a little more power

Stums as a little help; this is how i play it
d -- strum down
u -- strum up
