  • tune down 1/2 step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
     
    chords used:
  •  
    A5sus: X02200 AsusaddF#: 202200 A*: X02255
    B5sus: X24400 C#5sus: X46600 D: XX0232
  • E5sus: 022X00 F#: 244XXX G: 320033
    G#5: 466XXX (open): 000030
     
  • notes:
    - I'm not sure what the proper name of the A* chord is.
    - I shortened all the "sus" and "5" chord names. So when you see "A" in
  • the song, it's really A5sus as stated above. I hope this doesn't cause any
    confusion, but there just wasn't enough space for the full names.
    - (open) obviously isn't a real chord, it just what's played in the bridge.
  • - The rhythm might be pretty hard to get used to, so listen to the CD.
    - In the chorus, throw in some open high E and B strings to make it
    sound good.
  • - The bridge is pretty weird. You can either play the single notes or a
    combination of the notes and chords.
    - This isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close. If I made any mistakes,
  • please let me know!
