Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)
In album version there's no guitar part at the intro and first verse - just bass and some drum beat. The same
goes for outro. For solo guitar it's irrelevant though.
Also, I did this by ear and I'm not sure about that C majorC chord which sounds pretty close, but not ideal.
Chords:
Dsus2Dsus2 xx023x (mute last string - sounds better IMO).
There's a riff that repeats through the whole song which goes something like this:
e|-------------------------|
BB|--6/8-6------------------|
G+G|--------7----------------|
D MajorD|----------8-5------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------|
