These are the chords for the Chorus. The rhythm is pretty easy to figure out, just go by feel.

The intro solo can also be played as a 2nd guitar over the chorus (2x) and it sounds great.

Here's the break down of the song:

Verse (2x)

 

Verse +

+ The second time through the verse, there's a pause and an A chord in standard position is

played. The repeated portion at the end is played again. Listen to the song for the feel.

/ Slide up

\ Slide down

b Bend

h Hammer on

P Pick

D Downstroke

U Upstroke

M Mute with baby finger

X Hand Mute

*

* repeat this section once

The song itself is pretty easy once you learn the chords, but it's really fun to play.

I recommend you try it with 2 guitars if possible and use the intro solo over the chorus.

Trust me, it sounds great. This is the closest version I've heard to the song, but I'm not

positive on the B7sus. Try it out, tell me what you think.
