TAB:
Here's the main riff for The A measures in the middle
the E measures: of the verse (NOT the end) are
pretty much the same:
E ----------------| E ----------------|
B ----------------| B ----------------|
G ----------------| G --------0-------|
D --------0-------| D ----------2-4-2-|
A ----------2-4-2-| A 0-0-3-4---------|
E 0-0-3-4---------| E ----------------|
^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
I think the B in the bridge is like this:
E ----------------|----------------|
B ----------------|----------------|
G --------2-------|----------------|
D ----1-4---4-6-4-|----------------|
A 2-2-------------|2-2-0-0---------|
E ----------------|--------4-4-2-2-|
^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
I'm not at all sure about the A measures
in the bridge, but I think they might be
something like this:
E ----------------|
B ----------------|
G ----------------|
D 2-2-4-2-5-2-4-2-|
A 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
E ----------------|
