MotorCycle Emptiness-Manic Street Preachers

it should all fit in somewhere. Thanks to Cormac ward for the outro+solo.
Chords:-
E-022100(or x7999x)
B-799877(but idealy you should play B/D#-the bass player playing the D#(fret
6 A string) or you could play x7666x, it sounds better with a bass player)
C#m-x46644
A-x02220(or 577655)
C-x32010(or x3555x or 8(10)(10)988
