- This song is in standard tuning, E A D G B e (low to high)This is this intro riff, which is also the riff for the verses.
- Listen to it on the record to get a better feel for the rhythm, play it clean or with just a hint of overdrive. I think that it sounds good if you strum fairly freely but use your right hand to do cut offs in the appropriate places, it gives the track a ‘tighter’ feel.

- This is the riff under the intro before it really kicks in, subtle use of the wah pedal in a fairly open position needed here to get it to sound right.

- This is the rhythm for the chorus, fairly heavily overdriven. (Also for the intro when it kicks in)

- This riff is quite hard to hear, but is played over the chorus and the intro when the chorus part kicks in. Again use the wah subtly.-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- This is the other rhythm part for the verse (Mostly the chords are just an extension of what the bass plays) the important bit here is the E chord at the 7th(VII) position, start quietly and then rapidly open out the dynamics, as this is just before the chorus kicks in, it creates a really good ‘swell’ into the chorus. It is a bit of a stretch and if you are finding it difficult then I suggest you miss off the E played at the 7th fret on the A string.

- This is the middle eight section, I’m not sure if it’s right or not but it sounds OK when you play along to the record.-|-0------0--0---0---0--0-0---------------------------------------------------
