High Voltage Chords

Notes about strumming patterns:
X = percussive/fully muted strum, x + arrow = Palm Muting.
Begin the song with X DU = beat 8 in first pattern. When repeating it, Malcolm plays the X, Angus doesn't.
Hold the strum at the end of the bar in the next two patterns (play X U on beat 8 of first pattern to
lead into second pattern).
