Standard E MajorE Tuning
Note: Even though it sounds kinda weird at first, the song's not that
hard to play. The trick is that its not all major/minor chords, its slight
variations of them. The layout is pretty straightforward:
Verse - (general chords) - G6G6 D MajorD C majorC
Chorus - G+G A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
Verse
Chorus
C majorC Part - G6m D MajorD E minorEm
Guitar Solo
Chorus - bass only for opening
Chorus
Verse-
(before the actual singing play the following riff):
G6G6 Dsus2Dsus2 C majorC G6G6 D MajorD C majorC
E------------3--------0--0--------------3--5--2--0-----3----------
B------------3-----3-----1--------------3-----3-----3--1----------
G------------0-----------0--------------0-----2--------0----------
D---2--4--5--2--0--------2-----2--4--5--2--------------2----------
A------------2-----------3--------------2--------------3----------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------
Each time after play this: *the last time before the
chorus add the bottom 3rd fret
note to the C majorC chord (x32013)
G6G6 Dsus2Dsus2 C majorC
E------------3--------0--0----------------------------------------
B------------3-----3-----1----------------------------------------
G------------0-----------0----------------------------------------
D---2--4--5--2--0--------2----------------------------------------

Chorus- This part's easy, four basic chords. Do something like a base
note then strum, it should sound right. From "Don't wanna..."
on...

G+G A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
Before the second verse play a G6G6 (x33022)
C majorC Part- I'm not sure if G6m is a real chord since only E/Gb (E6E6) appears
on
the E MajorE scale and G/EG/E (G6G6) appears on the G+G scale. Oh well, it
works.

Well that's about it. Vary the G6G6 to make it sound better, and listen to
the song a few times to get the timing right on the solo. You also might
want to trickle down on a number of the chords, but I'm leaving that up to
you. This is my first tab so tell me if it's any good. Have fun!
