Tuning: Half-step down Verse: so for the verse, every other time you go through this part, play the higher E on the 7th fret of the A string, like so: |1st time] {2nd time] G|------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------| E|0-0-0-0--4-4-4-4--5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7--| E|7-7-7-0--4-4-4-4--5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7--| Chorus: G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| Play this x2 A|-7--7---4--4----------------7--7---4--4---------------| E|--------------5--5---7--7----------------5--5---7--7--|
G|---------------------------------------------------| D|--------4--------6---------4-----------------------| A|------6--------7---------6-------------------------| E|-4--7-----5--9------4--7----5-5-5-5-7-7-7----------| All you need to do for the rest of this song is keep alternating between the verse and chorus. After the solo, there's this 4 measure interlude thing where the everything goes quiet. Just don't play there, it sound like only guitar to me. During the ending, where the singers go "Why bother" back and forth, play the chorus. Anyway, I hope i've made this easy for you to learn :)
