Main Verse Riff:
---------------

G-------------------------
D--4-2------2-4--2--5-5---
A-------2-5---------------
E-------------------------

Those last two notes I'm not entirely sure of. It kinda gets
swallowed by the guitar and drums etc. I couldn't decide
whether it should be like this or just like the "other riff"
below. Or even a low G for the last 2 notes. Whatever you like.


Other Riff:
----------

A:
G----------------------------
D--4--2------2-4--2----------
A--------2-5---------5-2-----
E----------------------------

B:
G--4--2------2-4--2----------
D--------2-5---------5-2-----
A----------------------------
E----------------------------

I've never been 100% sure of this bit. I can't decide whether
to play AABB, or ABAB. You decide.


Post Verse:

E-------------------------------------------


"Mellow" Bit:
------------

G----------------------------------------
D------------1---1-1-----------1---1-1---
A---1---1-1-----------1---1-1------------ (x2)
E----------------------------------------

G----------------------------------------
D---------------------1-1-...------------
A------------1-1-...--------------------- (x2)
E---3-3-...--------------------1-1-...---

This bit is infuriating as I can't really hear the bass at
all. I'd say to just follow the guitar.
