View chords used in this chart
Intro: The intro is a hideous beast. I can't really give you anything firm,
except that it's based around D, E, and G.
The main "verse" progression begins to come in, which is:
E --------------------------
B --------------------------
G --------------------------
D -2----x----2-5-5-5-5-2----
A -2----x----2-5-5-5-5-2----
E -0----x----0-3-3-3-3-0----
and that just repeats a bunch, E and G.
Occassionally this will pop up in the verse:
E ----------------------------------------------------
B ----------------------------------------------------
G ----------------------------------------------------
D -7---7-5--5-5-5--5-7---7---7-5-5-5---5--8--8--7--7--
A -7---7-5--5-5-5--5-7---7---7-5-5-5---5--8--8--7--7--
E -5---5-3--3-3-3--3-5---5---5-3-3-3---3--6--6--5--5--
And then, the last time around right before the chorus:
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D -7---7-5--5-5-5--5-7---7---7-5-5-5---5--8--8--7--7--5--5---4--
A -7---7-5--5-5-5--5-7---7---7-5-5-5---5--8--8--7--7--5--5---4--
E -5---5-3--3-3-3--3-5---5---5-3-3-3---3--6--6--5--5--3--3---2--
And then, the chorus:
E ----------------------------------------------------
B ----------------------------------------------------
G ----------------------------------------------------
D -2----------5----------8--------2------5----/8\-----
A -2----------5----------8--------2------5----/8\-----
E -0----------3----------6--------0------3----/6\-----
After that part of the chorus, it goes into that "What I really want is all
those things that I can't have..." part, which is rather odd. It has a lot
of "noise" guitars; the only real chord progression that I can determine is
this, which is based on C and A#. You can hear it est on the Farewell version,
at about 6:56
E --------------------------
B --------------------------
G -5-x-5-x-5-x-3---3-3-3-3--
D -5-x-5-x-5-x-3---3-3-3-3--
A -3-x-3-x-3-x-1---1-1-1-1--
E --------------------------
oh, and BTW, those x's signify a muted strum, incase you couldn't figure that
out.
And all that's left, aside from an enormous amount of really complicated solos
and basslines, is the "please, mama..." part, which I have no idea what that
is. :) Like I said, this song is just incredibly complex. If anyone else knows
more parts, has corrections, etc, I would really love to hear them and I'll
try to update this thing.
