[Pre Chorus]
During the PreChorus the lead guitar just does single strums of the chords on the chord changes
G A Bm
Sure, you can forget about all the things you've done
G A
But what about the rest of us?
G F#
(What about the rest of us?)
G A Bm
High-tail it when it gets to be too much
G A
But what about the rest of us?
G F#
(What about the rest of us?)
During the chorus the lead guitar does the same thing as the rythym guitar
G
Sell us down the river
A
You can sell us down the river
G
You were never the one
A
To suffer
During the outro the lead guitar does the same thing as the rythym guitar
Bm A F#m G
Bm A F#m G
Down the river
Bm A F#m G
Down the river
Bm A F#m G
Down the river
Bm A F#m G
Down the river
