Ok. For this one you'll need to detune your low E string down to a D.

Intro:
D7 D6 D

Repeat the second part of progression, replacing the open string hits between the C/D and D6
with to muted hits on the D A D G strings. Then replace the open hits after the D6 with 3 more
strums of the chord.


Main Riff:
Dm C/D D
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G----------7---7--7----5--5--5--5--5--5--5---------9---9--9-----7----7--7--7--7--7-------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------8---8--8----7--7--7--7--7--7--7--------10--10-10-----9----9--9--9--9--9-------
D--0--0--0-0---0--0-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-0-0---0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0--0-------



You must make sure to mute the D String and keep a steady relaxed feel through out this part
of this song. Keep your third finger on the A string and switch between your first and second
on the G string for the change in chords. If you ever see Thom playing live he's never to
worried about clinical accuracy so just go with what you think sounds good.


Chorus:
D7 Gadd9/D Gmadd9/D Gm/D Dsus4
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G--14---14-14-14---14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14---14--14-12-12--12--11-11-11-11-11-11--
D---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--15---15-15-15---15-15-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14---13--13-13-13--12--12-12-12-12-12-12--
D---0----0--0--0----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0----0---0--0--0---0---0--0--0--0--0--0--


(The second part of the chorus is just a repeat of the main riff). Keep your second finger on
the G string and switch between your first and third finger for the fret changes on the A
string. The bridge for this song is very tricky. Try to keep a relaxed alternate picking going
for both the chorus and the main riff.

The bridge for this song is very tricky. It has Johnny stricking mutted hits on the
A D G strings whilst using a delay pedal.
