It's your call: C#7 x4342x F#7 xx2322 That would be B7 X21202 E7 020100 on the guitar with the capo. Stuff you should know: p=pull off h=hammer on t=trill b=bend /=slide up \=slide down Here's how it works: On the CD there is a piano that pounds out the chords throughout the song. Ivan Hyde said that he saw them playing on MTV with a capo on the 2nd fret, so I suggest using an accoustic or clean electric with a capo on the 2nd fret if you don't have a piano. I've put the chords for use with the capo under the regular chords. The guitar on the CD is an overdriven electric. It comes in on the 2nd verse and plays arppegios on the chords during the verses. On the chorus it usually just strums along, but sometimes it breaks into an arppegio. BTW, Arionne330 tabbed out the arppegios during the verses. The solos are played by a different guitar, but you could get away with playing them on this one. Do NOT use a capo on this guitar. One other thing, I had some inquiries about what a trill is. Basically, you just hammer-on and pull-off a couple of times between the 2 notes. Listen to the song and you'll see what I mean.
