Chords: (Std Tuning)

    C#   A    D    G#
e: -9-- -5-- -10- -4--  
B: -9-- -5-- -10- -4-- 
G: -10- -6-- -11- -5-- -+
D: -11- -7-- -12- -6--  |- most of song played on these strings
A: -11- -7-- -12- -6--  |- can even use power E's and omit G string
E: -9-- -5-- -10- -4-- -+

Notes: Since I got no response from my original post, I've decided to ditch the capo and go with
bar chords, in hopes of hitting a different audience (rockers). With male vocals, I find 
playing this a step or 2 down sounds better to me. Since these are all E-form bars, you can 
easily play around with them to fit your style (ie, same formations, just move down a fret). 
Oh yeah, and pretty much slide between all chords!

Riff:
   C#               A
e:----------------|-----5----------|
B:-----9----------|---------5------|
G:---------10-----|---6-------6----|
D:---11--------11b|-------------7br|
A:----------------|----------------|
E:-9--------------|-5--------------| 
   1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .  1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .

Alt Riff: (I find this a little high pitch/gay for me. The song is also really fast, so I
often play this. Basically, you can pick/strum anything in C# and A that goes low, mid, high,
mid and it sounds good)
   C#               A
e:----------------|----------------|
B:----------------|----------------|
G:---------10-----|---------6------|
D:-----11------11b|-----7-----7-7b-| (note: can also slide the bends up a
A:-------------11b|-------------7b-|        fret and quickly back)
E:-9-9------------|-5-5------------| 
   1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .  1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .

(Tempo is fast: guessing 160 bpm+ = 88 of 100 on my RP80's drum machine)

i've submitted an update to fix the formatting. chords are getting lost at the end of lines. the chorus loses an entire measure of A at the end.

verses |A....|F....|A..F..|A..Bb..| (x2)
chorus |Bb..A..|F..Bb..|F..Bb..|A....| (x2)
bridge |A....|F..E..| (x4)

the update has posted, so if you find problems they're me, not the formatting. (gulp)

(Quoting self) "I can take the abuse, but post something
constructive as well."

Hah! It's been almost 2 1/2 years and not a sing comment or rating. Guess I miss judged interest for this song, eh? Shame, it rips and is a blast to play.
