Well I still don't know.
 
Play this only once this time
 
This brings us to about 1:52 or so. The chords in the next section are a
simple pattern of G, F, Bb, and C. I like to play them all as power chords
and slide from one to another, but that's my preference.
 
The next section begins at about 2:04.
 
This is just the opening riff played over the G, F, Bb, C progression.
 
The next section begins at about 2:29

You can bribe the devil, you can pray to God. You can sell off every..
 
The rest of the song is just repeating what's already tabbed out for you.
