Tuning: Standard
 
 
This is a simple song that has little one note changes at the end of every riff.
Riff A and B are to be used during the Verses.I labled the two different riffs
he plays and when you should play them.
 
Order For Song:
  Intro
  Verse 1
  Transition To Chorus
  Chorus x3
  Verse 2
  Transition To Chorus
  Chorus x4
 
The Order for the Intro and the Verse is A,B,A,B,A,B,A,A,A,B
 
        e|-------------------------------------|
        B|-------------------------------------|
        G|-------------------------------------|
Riff B  D|---------------------------7---------|
        A|---4---4/7-7-------4---4/9---9-------|
        E|-5---5-------0-0-2---2---------9-----|

The Transition into the chorus is almost the same as Riff B
with a different ending.

The Second Verse uses the two riffs differently than the first verse.
 
Verse 2: Play Riff A,B,A,B,A,B,A,B,A,B After This play the transition once more
then go to the chorus and play it 4 times. on the 4th time end by
playing the A string.
