                                       Now I've been told that this is how you play this part.
                                     It doesn't sound right to me, but I'll let you be the judge.

Just strum these chords for the bridge

THIS TAB IS 100% CORRECT
It's very good, but i think that chorus goes like this: E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| D|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| A|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-|
Chorus sounds right to me... and why comment if you're just going to say something negative, be constructive at the least.
